Perhaps, but they are not helping their case as sane rational members of the species really when it has gotten to the point where we need contracts and consent forms just to have something as simple as sex ...

BTW, I would not trust a sex contract / consent form / Legal fling or whatever. That could be thrown out in 5 sec by any judge that is biased in favor of women (basically all of them). "your honor ... he forced me to sign it..." "Throw the book at him, sexual assault / rape charges!"

Yes, because it's outrageous to ask for consent before having sex. It's not just a woman thing either, if a woman is making advances on a man or another woman, or a man is making advances on another man, they should ask for consent before they do anything.

It is kind of outrageous to do that though ... it is something I would expect an alien or someone with autism to do ... it would be like if I asked for permission to shake your hand, or permission to talk to you. It is just strange / cringe to do. 

Honestly the only occasion where it is advisable to ask for clear permission for sex would be if you are with a prostitute. 

In all other circumstances, assuming you know this person to some degree, both parties should be comfortable working this stuff out with nonverbal communication. If either party doesn't want to engage, a simple and clear "no" is all that is needed ... if things continue after a clear "no" then we can talk sexual assault. I'm sorry, but a guy putting his arm around a girl to pull her in for a kiss, or a girl touching a man's shoulder is not sexual assault and/or rape...

No one was forcing this woman to be there ... she could have walked away from this guy the moment it became uncomfortable but instead she decided to concoct this attention grabbing story and probably ruin this guy's career.
