There are other forms of communication than spoken language. Body language and context are pretty important too.

I mean, the whole idea hinges on the fact that body language and context can communicate a no, so why can't it also communicate a yes?

Yes but they are ok with the converse: if someone doesn't say yes, then you should continue.

Here's a wild idea: women feel pressured to consent to mens' actions. So giving men the idea that "just cause she ain't sayin poo poo doesn't mean she's ok with it," will hopefully result in a balanced situation with communication on both sides as equals.

I think people think that women have just as much power as men when it comes to sex. Women are still taught to be meek and receptive by society.

I think you unreasonably assume that men are always the initiators of sexual escalation. I've been touched sexually by women without my consent before, and I've been in sexual situations with women who escalated things without asking my consent first. I have even had sex where I was drunk and my partner was not. I do not consider myself to have been sexually assaulted. Are you telling me I have been?

I know "on paper" it seems silly to deride this but should you ever actually touch a woman in a context besides a nurse giving you a sponge bath it's going to start to make sense

This is entirely true. The issue is that men are trained and conditioned by our culture to have a bias towards interpreting these communications as positive more often than not.

Like here's a crazy example. You start to put your hand down his pants, you look at him, he nods, and wow we have consent. Jeez that sucked.

Well I suppose there's something to consenting to every bit of physical escalation

anyone remember Azure Horizon, who bragged about being such an amazingly hot gay dude that he could get his straight friends to have sex with him

after he got them blackout drunk and dragged them back to his place

and it took people pointing this out long after the fact for him to get perma'd for being a rapist

Seems like a good idea to establish some sort of verbal consent as the norm, and it's pretty hard to complain about anything in that article. Of course in implementation it will probably morph into the weirdest possible version with all sorts of strange misinterpretations and redefinitions, but certainly still worth trying.

Anyway, whatever kinks there are now will surely be worked out when some enterprising silicon valley social-entrepreneur creates a 'consent app' of some sort. You could even link it with online dating websites, make it so that you can choose to only be presented with people who have a certain number of consent endorsements.

It's not like relationships when you're in the loving tenth grade aren't already awkward and weird. But it's just trying to teach kids to get consent before they do poo poo to another person.

While true, women are taught to be scared of saying no, even when there is no danger present.

Maybe we should classes in school in which women are taught to say no to sexual advances from actors.

They're not talking about "enthusiastic consent" in the sense that you touch your partner's rear end and they're all "ohh yeah that feels good" or "stop it." They're talking about stopping the sex act and getting them to say the words "yes I want you to touch my rear end" before you do.
And I think that is stupid.

Instead of teaching people to treat every sexual interaction like some kind of legal negotiation, maybe we should be reinforcing the idea that it's safe and okay to say "no" and that we must be mature enough to hear and accept "no" from our partners.

That's not anything like what should be. Crazy high school health teachers from SF will say it is, but normal human beings with the capability to communicate and understand communications aren't going to do poo poo like that.

The kid is right: stopping every ten minutes and getting a yes is stupid as gently caress. But you shouldn't ridicule the idea of actively seeking consent.
