Fearing False Accusations, Men Are Asking Women To Create 'Consent Videos' Before Sex.
2018-12-06
h/t Instapundit
Thanks to the excesses of the #MeToo movement, sexual encounters have morphed into an episode of South Park. In the midst of an otherwise romantic night, gals, you might be asked to create a so-called "consent video" so your understandably petrified partner can cover his behind against any future false accusation leveled against him.
p.s. Since when a woman not entitled to change her mind afterwards?

#12  Women can change their mind and remove consent during the act which in theory makes the videos less valuable, but the videos will still make any kind of legal claims of rape difficult to prove before a jury.

#11  Well, if they're going that far, might as well video the whole thing, then whatever happens won't be a matter of he/she/it said.

#10  That explains why Bill Clinton is always carrying around a video-camera nowdays.

#8  [snicker] Legally, a consent video would not necessarily give a man blanket coverage cornering an accusation of sexual misconduct, since certain sex acts might not be "covered" in the consent video and consent can be withdrawn at any time, post-consent video included. "Consent is ongoing and can be withdrawn at any time. Therefore, a video may record 'consent' but the situation may then change and consent is withdrawn," Durham University law professor [said].

[gag] But aside from the legal aspects, feminists are not pleased with the idea of consent videos and their "problematic" ramifications.

In the case with Poppy, King complains that the "implication" of a consent video "is that those in a position of power are the ones who need protection, and that’s just not true."

Right. In the olden days, the fella had to promise matrimony before the act.

#7  So 4 witnesses will be required

Yes, but only 3 are required to participate. The 4th will be responsible for the Bärenjäger.

#5  Haha, then the women will just say it was made under coercion. Nice try but it won't work.

That'll be two videos then. Or a trip to Thailand which would work out cheaper.

"Yes."

"Well, let's go..."
