Spain's Yes-is-Yes Law: When Does Consent Become Policing Behaviour
Recently, in 2022, Spain passed a 'yes-is-yes' or 'only yes-means-yes' law of consent, saying that sexual consent can only be given when a woman gave a firm yes to sex. This was after five men raped an unconscious 18-year-old girl in 2016 and were not given appropriate charges.
While I absolutely agree with the importance of sexual consent, I worry about what this could mean for future harmony between the sexes. To what extent could this law lead to policing of human behaviour? Guess we'll have to wait and see.
