Yes Means Yes
1. Schwartz’s article, here: https://www.academia.edu/16380597/Male_peer_support_and_a_feminist_routing_activities_theory_Understanding_sexual_assault_on_the_college_campusLinks to an external site. gives us an understanding of sexual assault on college campuses.
2. For this forum, do some research to learn about the “Yes Means Yes” law, related to consent and sexual activities.
3. Here is the latest law from Oklahoma, and similar to other states, which closed a 2016 loophole, previously stating that oral sex is not rape if the victim fell asleep due to drugs or alcohol.
How is consent defined?
The term “consent” means the affirmative, unambiguous and voluntary agreement to engage in a specific sexual activity during a sexual encounter which can be revoked at any time.
Consent cannot be given by an individual who:
is asleep or is mentally or physically incapacitated either through the effect of drugs or alcohol or for any other reason, or
is under duress, threat, coercion or force
Consent cannot be inferred under circumstances in which consent is not clear including, but not limited to:
the absence of an individual saying “no” or “stop”, or
the existence of a prior or current relationship or sexual activity.
Okla. Stat. tit. 21, § 113
Does the definition require “freely given consent” or “affirmative consent”?
Yes. The term “consent” means the affirmative, unambiguous and voluntary agreement to engage in a specific sexual activity during a sexual encounter which can be revoked at any time. Okla. Stat. tit. 21, § 113
Consider the following questions for your discussion.
1. What does the “Yes Means Yes” law mean and how is this different from “No Means No.”
2. How might hegemonic masculinity play a role in sexual assault?
3. What role should schools and colleges have in educating boys and girls, men and women, on these issues?
