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."

No wonder the younger generation of men is turning gay!

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

I've never had sex that wasn't good. If peg A goes into slot B, it's all good.

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

At least not with men....

Have the women sign a permission slip and have it witnessed and notarized. Problem solved. SMH

I can bet she has never been enthusiastic about anything, neither has any man that may have touched her.

The only way to prove enthusiasm in sex is with a camera (with sound). And even then determining ‘enthusiasm’ is subjective.

Shall the UVA and Duke U have special sex rooms with cameras to prove sex was more than ‘the boy simply having his way with her’?

“Even if a woman consents to have sex with another adult,”

Even another woman?

OMG! How do these idjuts even dream this kind of krap up?
Did they have a chocolate squid sandwich with pickles and hot tobasco sauce last night for dinner, or what?

Y'all are going to act like this is crazy feminazi talk, but it isn't.

As a matter of fact this is a far cry from the normal [I use the term advisedly] feminist position. I look for Ms. Hinsliff to be twitter-shamed and destroyed on the Interwebs for her heterodox position.

All PIV sex is an affirmation of the white-cisheteropatriarchy, and is therefore not only rape but a crime against humanity.

Hinsliff's opinion would once have been considered fringekooky. Now it is regarded as right wing hate speech. Look for her auto-da-fé in the pages of The Guardian soon.

I was going to say that too!!

Have it drawn up by a lawyer and witnessed by not just the notary but 2 more witnesses. This is craziness beyond anything I’ve ever heard.

I’m sick of men being responsible for every level of bat crap crazy reasoning that women invent.

If they don’t like men or you don’t like a man, they should leave them the hell alone. Then men won’t have to have three witnesses to testify as to whether or not the woman had sufficient fervor before, during, and after the sexual act.

We are quickly approaching the day that all sex will require a government umpire.

I need you to sign three copies of this consent form. Oh, plus i need to film you showing enthusiasm during any sex we may have.

As a female who is jaded, cynical and real, having been married twice and having gone down the primrose path more than a few times when single, too-I must point out that while this may be a man’s world, I’m quite sure they can’t fake an orgasm-so how is the guy to know genuine enthusiasm from faux enthusiasm?

Ms Hinsliff is in lalaland...
