@hawkeye10,
Quote:More clearly than most admitting that the bosses are removing wholesale our freedom to consent.
Since when does "consent" obtained by "the use of intimidation, coercion, threats, force, or violence" represent "freedom to consent"? Or represent any valid meaning of the concept of "consent"?
Where is the "freedom" for the person subjected to "the use of intimidation, coercion, threats, force, or violence" in order to obtain their "consent"?
Of course, it really should go without saying that, the use of intimidation, coercion, threats, force, or violence, should negate any consent obtained under those conditions.
If someone is beaten into submission, or is threatened with serious harm, if they don't allow certain sexual contacts, would you consider that "freedom to consent"?
Is this your idea of "consent"?

Your "peers"--now you think you are a college student? The White House initiative, It's On Us, is directed at campuses, at college students.
And encouraging bystander intervention on campuses is a way to have students interrupt a possibly unsafe situation, involving someone who is vulnerable, in order to prevent harm to that individual. If you think this is so that, "I and my sex partners can be kept in line," you really are paranoid and delusional. Your anxiety over possible potential threats to your BDSM lifestyle really distorts your perception of this topic, particularly as it pertains to the issue of campus sexual assaults.
The Vanderbilt rape case, which involves the sexual assault of an unconscious female undergraduate, by several members of that school's football team, goes to trial next week.

Bystander intervention in that particular situation, had it occurred, could have prevented, or interrupted, the sexual assault that took place. That's the point of encouraging it, and training students to be able to do it.
Your thinking, and how you interpret things, is seriously warped.
