Girl Thinks If You Regret Having Sex It Means You’ve Been Raped, Gets A Perfect Lesson On Consent
Consent – no other term has been discussed so often in the past few years like this one. And no matter how many times people have thought about it, the meaning is still an enigma for some. And if you yourself have a doubt what affirmative consent means, it’s when a person voluntarily agrees to someone else’s wishes or desires.
Now, when it comes to discussing sensitive issues like rape and sexual consent, Twitter is often the most disastrous forum of them all. When a girl began arguing with a nursing student over the difference between abuse and regretful sexual encounter, one user had the perfect comeback to sum up her logic – or lack thereof. The rest of the Internet has also united to denounce her comments, as well as contribute their own points of view, and we’ve got it all on the screenshot for you below.
If you’re deciding to come online and offer your counsel on any given issue, at least make sure you’re fully aware of what you’re talking about first. Scroll down to follow this entire debate on consensual sex, and don’t forget to add your views at the end.
This nursing student perfectly summed up the difference between rape and regretting sex on Twitter…
And was countered by this user who disagreed with her
This brilliant comeback, however, exposes the problem with the girl’s argument
Some male users felt particularly perturbed by the supposed ‘revoked consent’ policy
Even female users, especially one rape survivor, took issue with it
There is actually some truth behind what the girl was trying to say
She brutally misfired, though, and the Internet had absolutely no time for it
Do you think consent can be revoked in retrospect, or does this concept harm real victims? Tell us below!

Share on FacebookTo me this sounds like giving something to someone and then later calling them a thief because you regretted giving that to them. Not only this takes the attention and respect away from the real rape cases by making it seem like everything is rape, you're basically saying that guy at the party that you thought you were really into but in retrospect weren't really is the same as a rapist, and a guy who just had sex with the wrong girl should not have his life ruined for it.
I bet that guy would regret having had sex with that girl making her a rapist too.

however, "the Internet had absolutely no time for it". I guess she might even have lost a few Internets.

This is b******t. Consent before sex - not rape. Consent revoked during sex - if stopped then not rape. Regretting freely-given consensual sex, NOT rape. Unsatisfactory sex does not equate to rape. This really makes a mockery out of the seriousness of rape.
I've been raped. Not asking for sympathy, just stating fact. I have no consent at any time. I've said "I don't feel right about this", the guy stopped, kissed me on the forehead, and STOPPED. He respected my withdrawal of consent. I've had freaking lousy sex that I regretted and actually thought "I shaved my legs for this?!??" The young woman may have worded her thought terribly and needed correcting, but absolutely regret=/= rape.

Where is this? She could be charged with libel and false witness, just for starters, and he could take her to court and file charges against her.

Well i am glad they addressed that bear in the room. just because you regret what you have done doesn't change what it was. That's when you have to own up to it and be an adult. Mistakes happen. It is what it is(hate that saying but its true). But if you force something on someone, if someone takes the CHOICE away from you. that's when crimes and injustices become clear.
As a bear, I feel offended by your remark. Go pick on elephants.
