Hey Aghny, just because I am enamored of your expertise in biology, tell me what developmental feature all vertebrate blastula have in common?
My humor is like church wine: dry and tasteless.
If you are not sure if I am being serious, assume that I am not.

Not that you get paid to teach anyway. Or that anyone would want to.

Consent is a psychological state of approval of an agreement. implied consenst is a concept you are trying to argue for without actually understanding. The only way to achieve implied consent is through non-verbal displays of agreement. I.E.: She takes her clothes off.

Yet in practice, the notion of consent varies and are highly subjective. If you can link some research that shows it is objective in nature, i will humbly leave this thread.

Next time I get pulled over for speeding I'll be sure to point out to the officer that its just his opinion that I was breaking the law, and that its just his opinion that the speed limit is 65, and that opinions aren't facts.

Why does it have to be objective to not assume consent? That makes no sense.

Please, PLEASE don't encourage them to confuse implied consent and non-verbal consent.
"She takes her clothes off" is non-verbal consent (active/enthusiastic participation)
Implied consent is "she never said yes, but I could tell she wanted it because X (outfit, alcohol consumption, "didn't say no").

Implied Consent is in cases where a police officer tells you to take a breathalyzer and you refuse, go to court, and the judge says "By operating a car, you gave implied consent to the breathalyzer".
Implied consent will not hold up as a defense against a rape charge.

Oh come on, this is an easy one.

A first year bio student would know it.

Nah it's always bad.

It's the same. Your actions display non-verbal consent to the breathalyzer, no? In that sense, non-verbal consent is a very dodgy,hard to prove stance. Which is why you need to prove real, verbal consent as a defense. Otherwise, rape.

Assumptions doesn't have to be true. And one can in the same way assume consent.

Different countries mean i won't be detained for what you consider rape, because that is not the law here.

In that case, then she didn't consent. Case closed.

You will in America, Argentina, Germany and Lithuania. And if you're somewhere else, please show me where. I'll search the appropriate law as I did with Ljvonia.

What I don't understand is why people insist on trying so hard to justify their shitty behavior and rapist like attitudes rather than correct them. Are their egos so fragile where admitting that perhaps you were looking at something wrong or a particular view is harmful will just shatter their self image and worth? Or is there some more sinister motive which gets certain posters so defensive when you talk about consent and rape culture?
