The New York Times reports that 10th graders at a high school in California are learning to keep time during any intimate encounters so their encounter doesn’t slip into rape:
Consent
from the person you are kissing — or more — is not merely silence or a
lack of protest, Shafia Zaloom, a health educator at the Urban School of
San Francisco, told the students. They listened with rapt attention,
but several did not disguise how puzzled they felt.
“What does that mean — you have to say ‘yes’ every 10 minutes?” asked Aiden Ryan, 15, who sat near the front of the room.
“Pretty much,” Ms. Zaloom answered. “It’s not a timing thing, but whoever initiates things to another level has to ask.”
Well,
of course it’s going to turn into a “timing thing” if the choice is
between “every 10 minutes” or the wildly-subjective “initiates things to
another level.”
This
is the new normal in California because of sex-ed changes signed into
law by Gov. Jerry Brown this month that require classes to teach
affirmative consent, or “yes means yes.”
Everyone’s
favorite gadfly on today’s wacky new rules for campus sex, George
Washington University Law Prof. John Banzhaf, tells the Times this is not at all helpful:
“The [affirmative consent] standard is not logical — nobody really works that way. The problem with teaching this to high school students is that you are only going to sow more confusion. They are getting mixed messages depending where they go afterward.”

California is like a third world shithole.. You couldn't pay me to live there.
