I'm intrigued by the recent "Me Too" movement which is born from the revelations about Harvey Wallbanger, movie mogul, cinema tsar, casting couch Cassanova et al.

Let me say from the off that I have no truck whatsoever with men who do not know that "No" means "No". Beyond "No" it is rape, pure and simple. But I am a bit perplexed by posts I have read which lump unwanted sexual advances into the same bin.

Let me, by way of explanation of this seemingly inflammatory suggestion, ask this question, "How is a chap to know if a sexual advance is unwelcome or welcome without making it?". The answer I can hear being said is, "He must obtain consent". So my follow-up question would be, "How?".

If he asks a woman if she is "up for a spot of uphill mutton" (or any other more poetic phrasing) is this not, of itself, an unwelcome sexual advance?

Perhaps there should be a Consent Form available on the Net for men to carry around or, better still, perhaps he could slide a rubber johnny across the candlelit dinner table and ask her to sign the packet.

That would work, wouldn't it?
