The absence of a "no" is not the same thing as "yes."OTOH, if the girl is going to claim rape it seems like she should have said "no" at some point.

Did someone say it was?The absence of a "no" is not the same thing as "yes."
Um...you literally just said "if the girl is going to claim rape it seems like she should have said "no"Did someone say it was?
So your position is that, if the woman doesn't expressly say "yes, I will have sex with you", then it's rape? It sounds like that's what you're getting at.Um...you literally just said "if the girl is going to claim rape it seems like she should have said "no"
Consent doesn't necessarily have to be verbal, but consent must be given. Non-consensual sexual activity is literally the definition of sexual assault. This is nothing new.So your position is that, if the woman doesn't expressly say "yes, I will have sex with you", then it's rape? It sounds like that's what your getting at.
Tell your friend that I have had a lot of consensual sex but I have never raped anyone.btw, Have you ever had sex with a woman? Or a man for that matter? Asking for a friend.

As for me, I can't say I've had consensual sex with a lot of different women. But of the ones I've been with I don't recall any of them expressly saying "yes, I'll have sex with you" (or anything similar). That just doesn't seem to happen in the moment. But I do recall quite a few saying "no". And we didn't. (Admittedly, that's what happened more often than not.) So it seems like saying "no" might be a bit different than not saying "yes".Consent doesn't necessarily have to be verbal, but consent must be given. Non-consensual sexual activity is literally the definition of sexual assault. This is nothing new.

Ummmm...... YES!!!
Affirmative consent is the definition of consensual sex. In what context is it OK to attempt intercourse with someone who has not expressly indicated consent?
So you're saying that for consent to take place it has to be verbal. "Yes, let's have sex", or something to that effect. Because that's what it sounds like you're saying.
So your "Ummmm...... YES!!!" was answering a different question then. Fair enough.It has to be explicit. I said nothing about "verbal."

This is the part where I quit reading.So your position is that, if the woman doesn't expressly say "yes, I will have sex with you", then it's rape? It sounds like that's what you're getting at.
