America’s sexual revolution handed women control
over their sexual destiny while hanging on to liberal notions of
due process and civil liberties. But now affirmative consent or
“yes-means-yes” law proponents think that these notions are
inconvenient obstacles in their quest to deliver total safety to
women. Rape, they claim, is such a big problem that they have to
trade in their “ends don’t justify the means” philosophy with “by
any means necessary” battle cry.
But this is a scary development that shows that utopianism and
totalitarianism are two sides of the same coin, notes Shikha
Dalmia.
