This reminds me of the Radiolab pod "In the No"[1]. Things are definitely going off the rails. This discussion illuminates it perfectly for me: two people can have a sexual encounter and agree 100% on the details of it, that consent was given at each stage (in the affirmative), yet after it is over one of the parties can retroactively revoke consent and claim sexual assault. In fact, a young man was kicked out of college for just this thing (his lawyer was on the podcast).
I wonder all the time how we got here. And I fear for my 18 yr old son, who will enter college this fall.

- cptnapalm 8y agoIt can get worse than that. Amherst College kicked a young man for "sexual assault" when he was blacked out drunk and a girl decided to perform oral sex on him. The accuser actually did commit sexual assault and there isn't the slightest hint she will ever be tried for it. Her name is not publically known as she is shielded for accusing someone of what she did. She was also shielded from being deposed because it might traumatize her. https://www.mindingthecampus.org/2015/06/09/amhersts-version-of-kafkas-the-trial/ https://www.mindingthecampus.org/2015/06/09/amhersts-version...
