In reply to the discussion: Could we please stop with the "no woman wants to see a dick" - it's consent [View all]mythology
(9,527 posts)66. It's kind of mind boggling that you don't see the irony here
You claim that it's all about consent which you feel was obviously implied. And yet other people come to a different understanding of what was meant. It's a perfect example of why consent isn't nearly as cut and dry as you think. What you considered obvious wasn't conveyed through your words.
You expressly said that dick pics are rape culture, clarifying that unsolicited dick pics are sexual violence. If you fail to be expressly clear, that's on your communication skills. You can't expressly state something and then claim implied subtext makes it mean something else when called on it. Well not if you want to be considered intellectually honest and consistent.

You should know that. This requiring a million words of explanation is ridiculous.

For an opinion of one woman, woman must speak a million words to further explain an obvious point.

Right and to make women have to explain they aren't meaning they are speaking for every woman

I don't think I ever said consent could not be given because of the nature of the subect.

I understand your point as well. The issue is consent, not pictures or penis aesthetics
