201. A woman can "consent" . . . but we are questioning how freely in a patriarchy ---
There is technical consent --- though we are not always sure re prostitution ... there is heavy involvement of organized crime and many prostitutes have testified to abuse and being forced into various acts against their will.
Women around the world are held in sexual slavery --- including in the US --- !!!
Is anyone unaware of this --- ???
THIS is all quite different still from "casual sex" from sex in "marriage" from "relationship" sex and from general attitudes about sex which impact women in a PATRIARCHY --- the question of inequality of the genders continue to make it an open question even though we presume there is "consent" as we generally think about it. The questions are how valid is that "consent" in a PATRIARCHY.
