Yeah, it sucked. What bothered me about it was that the male character did not have intent to **** her. He didn't understand what she'd meant by "No" as all she said was "No". No what? No sex? No kissing? No sex right now let me warm up first?

I get what you're saying, of course, my problem is that Human communication is as much implicit as it is explicit, so I guess I always worried that I'd read the signals wrong and the girl would just "shut down" Thought that's stupid, given what's below:

I get what you're saying, but its a ridiculous fear. Seriously, do none of you ask your partners, "Does this feel good/Do you like that?" "What would you like me to do?" There are sexy ways to get consent! Is it normal to have sex with a person who isn't speaking or moving, obviously not into it, just lying there and taking it?

Yeah, "Just lying there" never happens. I think I'd probably notice something was wrong.

I guess the PSA exaggerated the situation to make it's point. Stupid amature university PSA theatre!

More PSAs that explain that consent is not the absence of a no but the presense of an enthusiastic yes, please.

That's my fucking point, you illiterate hag. You say it was a serious post and then you fucking say you were just being a bitch in regards to the issue all along.
