Seriously though, there are times you can't remember anything, what if you were accused and had no recollection?

Say her boyfriend found out later and that was her only 'face saver'?

BUT, I READ THE TEXT AGAIN, AND THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

The law was inspired by a California case involving two 17-year-olds who had sex at a party. The girl changed her mind about having sex, but the boy did not stop immediately.

He was charged with rape, and it took years for the courts to decide that he could be found guilty under California law. The California Supreme Court ruled in January that a man can be convicted if a woman first consents but later asks him to stop.

He didn't stop immediately and that's called rape? that's stupid!

course it's stupid. women

But it doesn't say whether or not he stopped at all until he had gotten himself off, nor how long he went after she said to stop. If it was a few seconds, yeah it's ridiculous. But if he went on for several minutes until he finally stopped, that's inexcusable.

Regardless of the legal position, any man continuing to inflict himself on a woman who has clearly stopped consenting to it should be taken outside and given a damned good kicking.

they would not have written "immediately" if he continued for a couple of minutes.

Tell me more about these mind reading powers of yours... will I be rich?

I wonder if the next step is to allow women to change their minds afterwards. The sex wasn't good, so I change my mind. It was rape!

I'd give a guy a 10-15 second window for letting it sink in. If he's in a rhythm and really enjoying himself, it might take a few seconds for his brain to register (due to the lack of blood in that area during that time).

I think all laws should be re-written to take into account this new enlightenment.

So you don't think a woman (or man, for that matter) has the right to change her mind during the act?

Just give it a few years.

It's not stupid it all. Look at the reverse situation.

She consents at first, then decides to change her mind (which she's within her rights as a human being to do), but because he says, whatever and keeps going. She already consented.

Furthermore, at where would you draw the line: five seconds, ten? So it's okay to rape a person if it's not for very long? "Your honor, my client can't possibly be guilty because he came in five seconds. The only thing he's guilty of is being a lousy lover." You cannot draw a reasonable line except at the instant of the withdrawl of consent. Anything else would very likely fail constitutional muster.

This seems impossible to improve, unless there was an audio or video recording of this...
