“consent is a basic human right.” the privilege of consent has been taken advantage of for far too long. unconsciousness does not equal consent. being under the influence does not equal consent. coerced consent does not equal consent. consent is only one thing: explicit permission. “yes.” just because they don’t say no, does not mean they said yes. do not use their nervousness against them.
