Fearing False Accusations, Men Are Asking Women To Create 'Consent Videos' Before Sex. Feminists Are Not Happy.
A consent video is exactly what it sounds like: a woman telling a camera lens that she is fully onboard with having sex with so-and-so once the record button is turned off.
And they say romance is dead.
According to a recent article from the Evening Standard, consent videos are becoming a popular trend in the world of hook-ups. Writer Rachel King recalled a recent night she spent with a man she knew fairly well at his London flat. At around 3:30 a.m., while she "sat astride him," the man grabbed his phone and asked her to make a consent video:
“Could you really quickly just say that you want to have sex with me?” he said, holding the phone out, wide-eyed and earnest, his Voice Notes app open as if he was poised for some kind of chatty red-carpet interview.
“What?” I said, blinking.
“Could you just say that you consent to having sex with me?”
Of course not having casual sex with people you are not married to could also solve this problem.

ANNALS OF LIBERAL HATE: Now #MeToo is coming for your thought crimes
#MeToo is totalitarian.
People are right to be concerned that #MeToo has gone too far. There are few who don’t think the movement has done good work in exposing predatory men and encouraging victims to come forward.
But when an editor is forced out of his job because he published something controversial, or a friend of the accused suffers professionally for his kind words, we’ve gone to the crazy place and need to come back from it.
Predatory men are all over the media and the “arts.”
It’s a place for good-looking and amoral people.
It’s part and parcel of what they sell.
It practically defines who they are.
Harvey Weinstein was able to get women to have sex with him
in return for given them movie roles.
And don’t think for a
moment that the women who gave him sex were not aware of the bargain they were
making.
He was exposed before there was a #MeToo movement.
Afterward it was a way for the women who participated to
claim the virgin-victim status.
And now it’s become the tool to destroy the men that Liberals
don’t like, even the men who maintained their virginity well into their
adulthood, like Bret Kavanaugh.
