Talking about the sex consent talks and workshops at Cambridge University

Sex should not be merely a question of whether a person innocently says yes or no but more of a societal thing. Let's be honest, who really cares about some bimbo's opinion, or even some highly-educated British man's opinion. Rape is about politics. I think it is ridiculous to assume someone would care about whether you consented. Rather other people's opinion is what seems to count. I think consent is when a woman abuses you. If a woman calls you “gay” or “a virgin” that should count as consent to sex as it is “incitement to sexual intercourse”. If someone treats you properly and says no to sex and can give a rational enough explanation for the decision that might stand up in court?

It's probably safe to assume that someone isn't interested [in sex] if you haven't already had sex with that someone and they enjoyed it.

When dealing with diagnostic labels in mental health, you have to decide whether money is in fact a factor is such a diagnosis or not, given your politics on what money is. Therefore, mental health should be more of a framework that enables those who chose to give up their freedom to live a healthy life, in safety and security within the system. People seek opportunity, therefore by providing such a framework and a decent introduction to a healthy life free of unhappiness is essential to providing a service that is altruistic. We can see this from the British government’s model of social care and welfare programmes, which have proven resilient to mass immigration, a changing demographic, leading to the disruption in
