How do you suggest we ascertain beyond reasonable doubt that sex was non-consensual as easily as we can show that car theft was non-consensual?

I wish we could show this but I just don't see how when people have sex all the time but don't give people their cars all the time. It ends up as one person's word against another's. It's horrible that this is the case but it is the case & I don't see a way to change that.

You've actually just pointed out one of the biggest problems that isn't addressed by our justice system, most of the times it will be his word against her word, so beyond reasonable doubt is very hard to reach. But think further about what kind of society you create when rapists.

How should the justice system be addressing it?

Well ok, this is a long list: the first thing we need is a social change - in our society women's sexuality is over valued and men's is undervalued (which is why men getting raped by women is considered a joke). A social change would inlude educating young adults about consent...

You think they're not? That people rape because no-one has ever explained to them that they need consent?

Yes. Like my story before - none of the people with me realized they were talking about sexual assault. I've also heard reports from other women where the rapist tried to make them feel good, but ignored the signs that they did not want to have sex.

When men asked each other if they'd be able to stop when about to orgasm?

Yes, but the question wasn't if they could stop - but if they would do it.

One man actually answered it and said "sorry, at that point a woman is already committed".

Hmm, well I am sure you can find someone to say this.
