Power and Consent

There is the ongoing joke between  males and females that goes something like this: "For thousands and thousands of years".

The Woman: "You raped me!"
The Man: "You liked it!"

Then it has always become the reality that if she did like it she would say so. If she didn't she might put him in jail.

It has always been like this. If she liked it she might marry him.

At least in the western world she might have a choice whether she marries him or not.

This is often the reality of life.

Is it nice?

No. It isn't.

So, it all becomes, "Did she give consent?"

But also now, "Did she still give consent after this started?"

And also, "Did she still think that was a good idea afterwards?"

Why I'm bringing this all up is that Facebook just raped anyone who wasn't aware of what was happening to them.

So, this is what the debate is all about now.

And it is a very important debate to have.

Should you let a company rape you again and again in your mind and heart?

My answer is "NO!"

What is your answer?
