In The Future, Everyone Will Be A Rapist For 15 Minutes

Every time a new rape law is passed, you can see how male sexuality is being incrementally criminalized. California Governor Brown just signed a raft of new ones, and the unintended consequences are going to be rich.

Senate Bill 813 does away with the statute of limitations on most forms of rape. You might call this the Bill Cosby law.

SB 813 makes every woman a ticking time bomb. You could have a consensual relationship in college, but if she experiences regret any time before her 40th birthday, she can cry rape. My advice to young men is to keep a notarized sex journal or video record of every sexual encounter.

Assembly Bill 2888 imposes mandatory minimum sentences for sex crimes. Including pandering! Therefore, a man who solicits a prostitute MUST serve jail time, but the prostitute probably will not.

That is like mandatory minimums for drug users, but not traffickers. Why not offer diversion?

The big question in criminal justice is that we are allegedly incarcerating too many people. A big driver of that is the advent of mandatory minimum sentences. Therefore, the problem is only going to get worse. This bill is meant to punish the Brock Turners of the world, but it is going to fall most heavily on black men.

Finally, Assembly Bill 701 amends the criminal code to declare that all forms of nonconsensual sexual assault may be considered rape. Unwanted kissing or touching is now rape. How long before unwanted looks or suggestive comments are considered rape?

You can see how Gender Studies graduates are now staffing the offices of Democratic lawmakers.

Feminists have long argued that only men can commit rape, because rape is a crime of unwanted penetration. Therefore, a woman who coerces sex from an unwilling male is not a rapist; in fact, the guy always wants sex anyway.

Now attach the intent of AB 701 together with California's existing affirmative consent bill. It is quite conceivable that a woman performing a common sex act on a man too intoxicated to give consent can be considered a rapist.

Think this is a vanishingly small probability? Well, think twice, because studies estimate that between 19 to 31 percent of male college students experience some kind of unwanted sexual contact, the vast majority of it perpetrated by women.

When you consider the stigma and shame involved with men coming forward after being sexually abused, the number is likely much higher.
