Remember when the left used to chant “Keep the Government Out of Our Bedrooms?” Ancient History. The modern Social Left is all in on Government Regulation of Intimate Human Relations.
The American Law Institute (ALI) will vote at its convention this coming week on whether to adopt a model penal code that would make “affirmative consent” when it come to sexual relations its official policy. Affirmative consent — or “yes means yes” — policies have already been adopted by many colleges and universities, and have become law in California and New York.
“Such a definition would shift the burden of proof onto the accused, something not currently permitted in the U.S. criminal justice system. The accused would have to prove that they received “communicated willingness.” This would mean that any time someone engages in sexual activity, they not only have to make sure they obtain this specific form of consent, but also proof of this consent. “
Consent forms for sex; brought to you by the Tranny Bathroom/Gay Marriage coalition.
[Don’t expect much posting from me today tomorrow; I’m off to North Carolina for a business meeting. So help me, if one more person says “Make sure to use the right bathroom, har-de-har-har,” I’m going to kirk.
Insanity, total insanity.
The Left is waging bedroom wars.
The Right is waging bathroom wars.
Leave me alone….
“The Right is waging bathroom wars.”
This is untrue; the accusation is, in fact, a lie.
The right is reacting to the left’s “bathroom war”.
I am confused. On one day, the left is lamenting the vast numbers of people in prison – we put too many people in jail. But the next day, the left is figuring out more ways to put people in jail.
The left has been preaching sexual “liberation” (libertine-ism) for generations and sexualizing children from nursery school and then, when people decide to be liberated, the left wants to put them in jail.
On a vaguely related note, CA’s efforts to empty the prisons in the interest of justice is hell on retailers:

Ted B – got to differ with you: the restroom front was opened by the left. Heretofore, public restrooms and school locker rooms were demilitarized zones in the culture wars.
THE ALIMPC now supports sadomasochistic sex contracts for heterosexual relations? Perpetuating fraud since 1955……….the batmerdecrazy 2%ers need to control themselves and stop trying to attribute their batmerdecrazy behavior to the majority normal heterosexual population.
Maybe liberals will stop breeding, if it becomes too difficult to impregnate their females.
Totalitarians have been and necessarily always will be puritanical about sex because of their need to exert total control over human behavior. Examples include The Anti-Sex League of Orwell’s 1984, China’s One Child program, eugenic breeding programs, or starters.
Hanover – The endpoint for baby supplies is to replace sexual intercourse with artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization+rented surrogate wombs from third-world females, using only “high quality” sperm from government approved sources and terminating any embryos (who knows up to what age) that don’t measure up to “standards” or whose parents are not Party members in good standing.
@ KCRob: The only time I hear Leftists lament incarceration rates is when they talk about the number of blacks and Latinos in the prison system. See, black people and Latinos only go to jail because Mean Whites (TM) do it on a whim, or because the black person or Latino tried to “fight the oppression.” White man goes to jail, he got off easy.
@9 – Sean, I think you’re right. Some years ago, I sat on a jury and as soon as we saw the defendant, a black man, we all decided then and there he was guilty so sitting through the trial and all that tedious testimony was a waste of time. The secret whites-only wink and nod confirmed this.
But for reasons that escape me, we still found the defendant not guilty. I suppose we were just burnishing our “good white” credentials. Or something.
So – white guy who has sex with a woman who decides, some months later, that she didn’t want to shag after all: RAPIST! Hang ’em high! Black guy who does the same thing – the woman is a racists.
If Muslim guy, we just don’t understand his culture ‘cuz we’re irredeemable bigots. I think I’m getting the hang of this.
My only actually-empaneled jury experience was a few years ago when a trailer park denizen accused a male family friend of sexual assault. We got to see her Queen Victoria-sized sleep pants (with alleged dried bloodstains) and see her sobbing her way through the trial. As an alternate, I didn’t get to deliberate, but the rest of the jurors found it the way I would have: not guilty. To me, it looked like a cut-and-dried case of buyer’s remorse by someone who was substituting sexual activity as a cure for emotional neediness.
We’ve all (at least the non-celibate of us) had instances of “Gee, I wish I hadn’t gone through with that.” But that’s part of the learning experience of interpersonal relationships. Under the new rules (and laws, in some cases), there will be no spontaneous expressions of intimacy. It will be not unlike scheduling a conjugal visit in those correctional facilities which allow such activities.
On the issue of transgender bathrooms:
A friend of mine spent his career as a blue collar worker.
His solution to this problem is the following-
If people are concerned about transgender people using high school bathrooms, or asking which bathrooms that transgender people can use, or that any other group of people can use, then:
Keep the already installed Boys, + Girls, bathrooms, and set up 40 porta-johns at the school, for EVERYONE to use.
So, if you use the portable bathrooms, you are all alone [ in them], and no one will ever put the who-is-using-what-bathroom-issue on the portable bathrooms.
