why only in colleges?

but hooefully this will open the door for all.

wow! college is a good place to start i guess

re this quote:

"The National Coalition For Men condemned the bill as "misandric" (man-hating), saying it "gives license to false accusations, denies the accused due process, will cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars in law suits and sets the stage for ruining innocent lives."

The Department of Education has named dozens of colleges and universities under investigation for mishandling sexual assault cases.

The US estimates one in five women is sexually assaulted while at university."

i would say that based on those figures innocent lives are already being ruined, but not the ones the NCM think

"The rule defines consent as "an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity."
Lawmakers say, however, that consent can be non-verbal, if it is unambiguous.
The aim is to improve the way that campuses deal with accusations of sexual assault, and to challenge the notion that victims of sexual crimes need to have resisted assault in order to have valid complaints.
The legislation also says that silence or a lack of resistance do not constitute consent. Under the bill, someone who is drunk, drugged, unconscious or asleep cannot grant consent."

Well yes, ncm, that sure sounds unreasonable (!!)

"Yes means yes" is a massive step forward in the right direction, IMO.

If you're having sex with someone you need to be very sure that they want to be having sex with you. Seems like the right way to conduct yourself no matter what your sex.

It is insane that people think this is unreasonable and misandric.
