Is Consent a Good Legal Basis Line?
I think that consent is a great legal base line. It's the floor that we have to have below all our sexual encounters so that they aren't actively illegal, actively assaulting someone else. I also think that consent can be used as kind of a fig leaf for selfishness in many cases. And i think it provides a lot of cover for people who would abuse it by getting consent, ostensibly for activities they shouldn't be doing. We need to go beyond that as a kind of base line standard.
