Let's put it this way:
If I tell you to take a fiver from my wallet and you do it, that's consensual. If you then later take another fiver out of my wallet without my permission, it's not consensual. If I catch you doing it, I might still be okay with it but that doesn't mean it wasn't non-consensual when you did it.

- Godel_unicode 7y agoWhat if, instead of your wallet, it's a box by the door labeled "cab fare" and it's been previously discussed that this box is there for people in the house, me included, to use when catching a cab to the train?
- zepto 7y agoDo you think the two are equivalent somehow?
- Godel_unicode 7y agoIt's a metaphor. In this case, for prior consent given in the most explicit terms possible to bound the discussion.
- zepto 7y agoSure - but in the case of sex, the equivalent is a written agreement to have sex while asleep at at a specified time and place with a specified person. Your cab fare metaphor is a very misleading illustration of this.
- sweeneyrod 7y agoWell, that would be different, because women aren't objects labelled "for having sex with".
- Godel_unicode 7y agoWhy are you assuming that the person who gave prior consent must be a woman?
