Consent

 

Definition: A voluntary and affirmative agreement to sexual activity from all involved. Despite the simplicity of the definition, what is and is not consent is difficult to determine by ways of evidence. Affirmative consent defines conset an unambiguous, enthusiastic, and ongoing "yes."

 

The issue of consent can lead to victim blaming, in which the victim is to blame for wearing "sexually provactive" clothing, despite there being no evidence to suggest clothing impacts assault.
