There is much to ridicule about "yes means yes" consent laws. The most glaring deficiency in the law is how can a party prove the other party gave consent? Or how does a party prove they withdrew consent? It all goes back to a "he said, she said," situation.
I realize that this process only applies to the college campus right now. Punishments will amount to school suspensions and expulsions, and restraining orders, not incarceration. But that doesn't mean "preponderance of evidence" is any kind of fair due process.
There is no mechanism to force an accuser to go to the police, except in California. They only need to complain to their institution. These universities have the power to cancel financial aid and mark college transcripts on little more than a sexual encounter that the woman regrets. Because she felt ashamed afterwards, or saw the boy talking to another girl? Guess what? Women are hard-wired to ruminate, regret and rue sex. They forgot to tell this to the women's libbers. Sex always has consequences.
The Title IX Coordinators and Diversity Vice-Chancellors who act as prosecutor, judge, and jury will always find for the female.
Another weakness in the law, is that it states that someone who is intoxicated, cannot consent to sex.
Well, what constitutes intoxication? I have had sex while intoxicated, countless times. Does that make me a rape survivor? I don't feel like a rape survivor. Maybe it's my false consciousness.
And what if both the man and the woman are intoxicated? Are they both guilty of rape? Maybe it's like in football, where they have offsetting penalties.
I'm being silly. If both parties are wasted, then the female is the victim, and the male is the perpetrator. Women are the protected class.
What if both parties are male, or both female? Who is the protected class then? They will have to pull out the Progressive Stack Compendiary. A same-sex couple both complaining is like a dead heat. They will have to compare race, class, and ancestor oppression level to break the tie.
It's so confusing, and that may be why we haven't heard a single story about campus sexual assault, and it's almost Halloween. Those frat boys better be planning some gang-rape pledge initiation parties, and tout de suite!
