Shouldn't that determination be left up to me? It is I who gives consent, or not. I don't need congress to define it for me.

I feel like chattel, on a block, and they are looking at my teeth. Hours upon Hours of debate in congress, placing arguments by men, on what constitutes a rape, in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD...like I am a cow...FUCK YOU.
