| Does the idea of sexual consent contracts make sense to anyone? Maybe a pre-written contract with a checklist and a signature spot for all parties at the bottom which states that they are not under the influence or otherwise opt to ignore the use of alcohol/drugs for the duration of sexual liaison? ... |

| http://feministing.com/2011/10/20/update-fbi-changes-official-definition-of-rape/ Interesting link, thanks. Do any feminist groups address that issue? It would be a noble cause if they worked to prevent it, and could undeniably be said to help men as well as women. that link is from a feminist webs... |
