Otteita artikkelin alusta: "[F]eminist writing on consent in this particular area has often been concerned with ensuring the presence of “real” consent, impugning the idea of constructive or implied consent to sex, and emphasizing instead that “no means no,” to expunge long-standing rape myths and norms about female sexuality that have made women’s bodies vulnerable to violation.
Feminists have been worried that sexual assault laws will look erroneously to context to construe consent from conduct where none existed verbally. At the same time, feminists have also challenged liberal legalism’s presuppositions and encouraged adverting to context to caution against presuming that even explicit consent has been given freely. The concern in both situations is the same: that the law will assume consent where none existed. But whereas in the former situation, the concern predicts that the law will look to context too much, in the latter situation the concern for many feminists is that the law will ignore the social, cultural, and economic context limiting women’s options."
