Clementine Ford

“Consent is a language that has many thousands more words than just 'yes' and 'no', but it's these two that everyone fixates on when determining the strength of a rape complaint. Perhaps she didn't say yes--but she didn't say no, either. It's a thought process that overwhelmingly favours the men most likely to be accused of rape, and the degree to which it will be used to protect them varies according to how much prestige and status their privilege affords them.”
