American law has long criminalized rape and other forms of sexual assault. In recent decades definitions of such crimes have been expanded, mostly providing greater protections for victims who testify they were subjected to non-consensual sex. This trend has even found its way into popular culture with the catch phrase “no means no.” Some reform advocates contend that the essence of sexual assault is engaging in sexual activity without “affirmative consent.” They contend it is inappropriate to require a person to say “no” (verbally or physically) to sex. Instead, the initiator should obtain an affirmative consent – and silence, in and of itself, does not demonstrate consent. The reformers arguing for “yes means yes” have had a great deal of success in influencing disciplinary standards on college campuses, but with respect to the criminal law, the influence has been much less.
