    Yes to what? Which question is a valid one? Do we have to provide laws for basic human communication? This gets a little weird.

    Imagine both people never said yes, and had sex - which is rather common. Is it now rape (for both)? Of course not, because rape is not just rape because someone didn’t say “yes”.

    I’m seriously not sure what this law is actually doing that isn’t already covered by other laws.

    Edit: I should have read the article fully before typing. This is pretty much what everyone assumes as consent by default. It’s not how the title suggests. Any way of showing your consent is fine. Not literally only “yes”. Good thing, because it would be absolutely awful otherwise.

    And yet the far-right incels will complain… Unfortunately Spain is seeing an increasing anti-feminist push.

    Edit: the right-wing parties voted against this law. The general feeling among the right wingers in Spain is that such feminist laws are unnecessary or excessive, which I feel is a dangerous position.

        Superficially it doesn’t look like it. But recent stats indicate that an increasing share of the male population in Spain sees feminism as an “oppressive” (???) movement. I’ve myself checked (I’m Spanish) that many male and female friends of mine show such opinions in private, even if they don’t generally show them, and the tendency is increasing.

          If you are Spanish then you probably know better than me. I just thought you were an ignorant yankee talking about things when he doesnt have a clue.

          I am curious which aspects of feminism are seen as oppressive. After all its not a linear scale, but many individual laws and policies. People might only oppose a few of those, and support others.

    I think us men should ask for a signed affidavit before sex. Just to make sure that all legal risks are covered.
