"Women are assumed to be in a constant state of consent unless they explicitly state otherwise, says Connecticut supreme court"

ivorymembranes:

“The state Supreme Court Monday threw out the conviction of a city man found guilty of sexually assaulting a severely handicapped woman.

In a 4-3 decision, the high court ruled that despite evidence the 26-year-old woman cannot speak and has little body movement, there was no evidence she could not communicate her refusal to have sex with the defendant, Richard Fourtin Jr. As a result of the ruling, Fourtin goes free and cannot be tried for the case again.” READ THE FULL ARTICLE - “Supreme Court sets accused rapist free”

WHICH IS FUNNY BECAUSE IF YOU’RE INCAPABLE OF COMMUNICATING REFUSAL THEN YOU CAN’T COMMUNICATE CONSENT EITHER

Did this seriously just get asked?

How fucking hard is it to understand that a person (let alone a rapist) has absolutely no say in what another person does with their body?

This question is fucking disgusting. 

Nononononononno.

If it’s not your body, I don’t care if it was consensual sex, it’s not your choice to make. Definitely not in this disgusting hypothetical either. 

Can we just talk about the first part of this for a sec?  Where the motherfuck did this “man gets drugged and rapes a woman” bullshit come from?  Has this ever really happened?  Who the fuck says, “Oh, let me drug this guy so he’ll rape someone.”  Where do these goddamn anti-choice people get this shit from?  I’m tired of this, “OH, THE POOR MENZZZZ” bullshit.  What kind of fuckery is this nonsense?
