Video: College Students Try to Define Sexual Consent
I feel bad for today’s college students, I really do. The Washington Post produced this video about sexual consent. Watch as students offer dozens of different explanations for what consent actually is.
College students remain deeply divided over what consent actually means
Many embrace “no means no.” They have grown familiar with another three-word standard, “yes means yes.” But America’s college students are deeply divided on how to read the unspoken language of sex.
What if someone undresses? Or gets a condom? Or nods in agreement?
In each of those scenarios, a Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll found, at least 40 percent of current and recent college students said the action established consent for more sexual activity. And at least 40 percent said it did not.
Conflict and confusion about consent pose enormous challenges for colleges scrambling to prevent sexual assault. Many have discovered they need a new curriculum just to teach incoming students about the do’s and don’ts of intimate communication.

Comments
Give the liberals precisely what they want. Bring back single sex universities and make social and sexual contact between other-gendered students forbidden on campus. Off campus the women are of course free to take it up as a criminal matter.
The odd thing though will not be what is consent but in this day and age, not even what is gender, since there’s about 40 of those now. No the big confusion will be ‘what is sex’. Feminists equate eye rolling with rape. So consent will be narrowly defined as consent, to look, consent to twitch your nose, consent to stare, consent to touch with fingers, consent to encroach on personal space, consent to cyber-sex, consent to sext, consent to…….for hundreds or thousands of different acts, feelings and gestures that most people don’t consider sex at all. But colleges do. I eagerly await the day when a college coed charges a man she’s never actually met but who attends the same college, with rape, because he smiled in an aggressive fashion while talking to someone ELSE while she walked within 50ft of him one day one time. She didn’t provide consent for that to happen. You know it’s going to happen.
