Australian law makes sexual consent explicitly verbal
NY Post ^ | July 6, 2018 | Jessica Rapana

Posted on 07/09/2018 5:09:57 AM PDT by C19fan

If you want to have sex you now have to ask for it loud and clear and get a verbal “yes” back under new reforms announced by the New South Wales government in Australia. NSW is a state on the west coast of Australia and Sydney is its capital.

Sexual consent is at the core of the state’s first strategy against sexual assault released on Friday, which will focus on raising awareness about consent, as well as protecting victims and preventing sexual harassment in workplaces and universities.

Feminazism wasn’t about establishing equality. Kate Millet was a certifiably crazy dyke who said she wanted to promote homosexuality and promiscuity and “take away his power”.

denying men any sex promotes those goals.

Weaponized sex.

nothing about equality or respect in that

yes, in recent decades there have been more headlines about husbands who rape their wives at home.

and since any touch must be requested a pat on the rump is non-consensual exploitation.

#MeToo

Here’s a novel idea: Keep your pants on until married to a stable opposite sex person. Problem solved.

I am not that old, and even in my life, the gulf between what was then, and the insanity that is now, is...simply huge! And baffling.

But what is the question you have to ask? How does it need to be worded?

Sydney’s on the east coast of Australia.

I was wondering if anyone else was going to pick up on it. Maybe the dude was looking at an upside down map. 👎

Pretty soon you’ll need to have it in writing. And make an appointment.

This is all well and good but everyone knows that “no” means “yes”. ;)

Maybe all a dude has to do, is ask her if she knows she’s a MILF?

raising awareness about consent

Getting really tired of the "raising awareness" nonsense. Is there anyone who doesn't know about cancer, autism, that literacy is important, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc? What "awareness" is being raised here? Is there an abundance of hermits who have yet to learn that you need to ask someone before you use their body for fun, and that if they don't want to, it is an unpleasant experience for them? What percentage of the population is actually unaware of this?

And when it comes here, I want to know who is in on the Angel Money & Private Placement, or is 1st in line for the IPO. Seems our Politicians are often 1st in line for the latest and greatest that have massive Cap Gains out of the box. I wouldn't be surprised if Senators are in on it. Look at the track record of Dodd, Kerry and Frank, they were in on a lotta good stuff, the WSJ wrote about it back in the day...

Reminds me of Meatloaf’s “Hot Summer Night”:

[Boy:] On a hot summer night
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
[Girl:] Will he offer me his mouth?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] Will he offer me his teeth?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] Will he offer me his jaws?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] Will he offer me his hunger?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] Again, will he offer me his hunger?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:]And will he starve without me?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] And does he love me?
[Boy:] Yes
[Girl:] Yes
[Boy:] On a hot summer night
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
[Girl:] Yes
[Boy:] I bet you say that to all the boys

There is a movie called “Cherry 3000” (or maybe 2000), where a guy is in a singles bar, and at all the tables are men and women with their attorneys, negotiating how far they will go, sexually, when they leave together.

It was actually pretty funny and, even back when the movie was made, as we saw what was going on, it did seem like it would be prophetic.

And here we are...

The funny thing is that “he said, she said”, at least in the US, is worthless without other evidence supporting one of them. I don’t know about Australia.

Underlining yet again the importance of proper punctuation.
