&quot;Students will ask, “Can I have sex when we are both drunk?” she said. “I get this one a lot: If I hook up with a girl and the next day she decides she didn’t want to do it, then what do I do?”&quot;<p>Interestingly she doesn&#x27;t give the answer.<p>This article conveniently avoids mentioning that this new law almost explicitly targets men. To answer your question young student, if a drunk man has sex with a drunk woman he is a rapist, because everybody knows drunk men are still fully in control, while drunk women are unable to make adult decisions.

&quot;In he-said, she-said sexual assault cases, critics of affirmative consent say the policy puts an unfair burden of proof on the accused.&quot;<p>This is my problem with &#x27;affirmative consent&#x27;. Anyone that feels regretful the next day can then go ahead and say they were raped.<p>Even if they had oral consent, it will be one word against another. Will we now need a written contract before having sex? Because this seems like what is eventually going to happen to avoid a criminal court case.
