The Guardian: If a Woman Consents to Sex with a Man, It's Likely Still Rape
Pundit Press ^ | 4/23/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 04/23/2015 12:18:56 PM PDT by rightistight

Even if a woman consents to have sex with another adult, according to Guardian author Gaby Hinsliff, it's still likely rape.

In an article titled "Consent is not enough: if you want a sexual partner, look for enthusiasm," Ms. Hinsliff argues that, even if a woman says she would like to have sex with you, if she does not do it enthusiastically, you are a rapist.

Hinsliff's subtitle reads, "The furore over rape prosecution guidance from the CPS shows we need a new understanding of sexual relationships."

The article goes on to argue that men are still rapists even if their sexual partner explicitly consented to sex with them. Ms. Hinsliff argues that if the woman agreed to sex, but did not do so "enthusiastically," her sexual partner raped them.

..."Don’t look for consent in a sexual partner," Ms. Hinsliff explains, "because that’s too low a bar. Look for enthusiasm."

So real rape must be a hate rape crime or just foreplay for Bj Clinton?

The left wants to make Turkey baster’s mandatory for ALL “Natural Procreation”.

I wonder who in the Baster Lobby is paying for this?

So the leftist’s idea of a “Loving Marrige” is a sex-less marrige.....

In a round about way they are saying what Christians have been saying as part of their doctrine of the relationship between a man and a woman, that a man must love his woman.

But they are trying to say it in a way that excludes the Bible.

I wish that standard would apply to some regrettable stocks and lottery tickets I purchased, unenthusiastically.

if she does not do it enthusiastically . . .

. . . it means she's your wife.

I just read the actual article in the Guardian and it’s kinda stupid, but not as bad as the linked article quoting it makes it out to be. I actually like Guardian columnist’s last statement about what she’ll tell her sons — that if a woman isn’t enthusiastic about it, it’s probably not worth the risk to her sons to sleep with a woman who might later cry rape. That’s not a bad yardstick for a guy to use to protect himself.

So even consent means it was a rape. Typical feminist.

Ms. Hinsliff dislikes sex is my takeaway from this utterly stupid article.

So basically if the sex wasn’t good then it’s rape...

Is this a lesbian tactic to encourage more lesbianism?

Very true, but lets not forget how the author will pat themselves on their back and proudly proclaim how smart they are to their friends at the next elitist cocktail party.

Scientists have discovered a food that greatly reduces sex drive - it’s called Wedding Cake.

So if the **man** is not that enthusiastic about the **woman**, does that mean **she's** raping **him**?

Also, how does one measure and prove enthusiasm? The number of "OMGs"??

Wait, I now realize: It's whatever the woman claims. The man is always wrong.
