New college campus consent requirements. Here's a snippet of pending considerations:
In other words, rather than adjudicating sexual assault along the logic of "no means no," California colleges will be required to adopt a standard of "yes means yes."
According to the bill, "It is the responsibility of each person involved in the sexual activity to ensure that he or she has the affirmative consent of the other or others to engage in the sexual activity. Lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent, nor does silence mean consent." Furthermore, "affirmative consent must be ongoing throughout a sexual activity and can be revoked at any time. The existence of a dating relationship between the persons involved, or the fact of past sexual relations between them, should never by itself be assumed to be an indicator of consent." Also — sorry in advance, batshit rape apologists — the accused will be held responsible for sexual assault if they "knew or reasonably should have known that the complainant was unable to consent to the sexual activity" because of drug or alcohol use.
