@ilyas.abdulin: What Does “Yes Means Yes” Actually Mean? Do You Need Written Consent? A lot of people are confused about the “yes means yes” debate in Europe. Some ask whether this was already the law, others think it means signing documents before intercourse, and some worry it cancels the presumption of innocence. But the real issue is simpler - what should the law focus on? Force and resistance? A clear “no”? Or clear, voluntary consent? “Yes means yes” does not mean paperwork. It means the question becomes: was there actual consent? #consent #datingadvice #relationships #law #europe #explained #yesmeansyes
