@hawkeye10,
Quote:Firefly saying "the man needs to make sure he has consent" does not work because she has just made the man in charge, and responsible for knowing the mind of his woman, which is a violation of the dynamics of an equality based relationship.
The man is in charge
of his own behavior--which includes knowing whether he has consent for what he is sexually doing to her.
She needs to know whether she has his consent to perform certain sexual acts on him.
Seems to me there is nothing unequal about that.
Judging by your posts, as well as those of BillRM and Ionus, some men, particularly those who like to demean women, seem to have much greater difficulty understanding this than women do.
Not a single woman posting in this thread has expressed any confusion understanding the meaning of "consent"--whether it's understanding her own consent, or understanding when she has the consent of the other person.
So, you and those other two men, are either dumber than bricks, or just domineering, controlling men who want to be able to disregard "consent" without being held responsible for doing it. You want to be able to rape and get away with doing it.
