the "yes means yes" law (construction, wage)

Best solution: ban colleges.

Train on the job. Test sexual harassment laws where your living wage is at risk.

College is WAY overrated.

College can be a great experience (compare a good 4 - year stint at a quality institution with a real college town against hanging around at home after graduating from high school), but that goes horribly sideways when one gets immersed into an organization that encourages subjugation of women. Frats just can't save themselves from gleefully engaging in this as a rule, not as an occasional exception. The quintessential training grounds for misogyny. That's where this law needs to be aimed.

You never answered any of my questions.

During college did you have sexual relations with a single girl/guy? Did you ask someone explicitly for consent every time you have had sex with someone even if you had been dating for an extensive amount of time? During your college years was there never a time that you hooked up with someone while you or they had been drinking or under the influence of something? How would you feel if you had what was in your mind at the time obviously consentual sex with someone and the next day they decided that they didn't really want to have sex with you so they charged you with rape? How would your life be now? Would that be fair or just? This law is making it much easier for that to happen to college age guys like you once were. Don't you have any compassion?

Unless you were perfect or didn't have sex with anyone, then you would have raped someone under this law. I would venture a guess that you were a virgin or gay and you harbored resentment toward the heterosexual guys who were getting lucky and you seek to punish them. If you weren't perfect, then you are a hypocrite.

So you essentially have three options.

1) You were absolutely perfect, asked for affirmative consent every single time and during every single different sexual act. If you claim this, I think that you are a liar.

2) You were a virgin and jealous.

3) You are a hypocrite.

And then there are those who are just plain obnoxious.

If the 1 in 5 college girls are sexually assaulted statistic is true then 500 sexual assaults should happen every year not 3. Either only 1 in 150 sexually assaulted girls report the crime, the statistic is total crap or the alert system is terrible (which I am fairly certain isn't the case).

5) And obsessive too!

Women are coming to increasingly dominate the populations of colleges and universities. Some universities are over 60% female now.
For guys that are there, you'd think they would have it made. But if you practically need a signed contract to have sex, it certainly seems like these places are becoming less friendly to men, but I haven't been on a college campus in many years so that may be an overstatement based on my own ignorance of the present times.
Do most college girls really feel the need for this?

3) I currently live in a notorious college community right now.

Not that I needed to tell you any of that but oh well. The ad hominem attacks really don't help your case. I asked you a question twice that is completely relevant to this thread. Either you had sex in college with women in which case you could have been charged with rape under this law, you slept with men in college in which case you could be charged under this law but you realize that you wouldn't be (and like the law because it targets heterosexual men) or you were a virgin in college (and you like the law because it punishes guys like me who did have sex in college).

Everything you said is completely correct.

A trade school is the best solution for young men these days. Colleges and universities today are way too feminized.
