Our laws are failing us!

Provisions and definitions make up all of our penal codes.

• Definitions explain the terms that are used in our provisions.
• Provisions tell us the conducts that constitute a crime that can be prosecuted,  but provisions only make sense if their words are well-defined.

The end result of failure to define consent is a set of provisions that are out of sync with what CONSENT actually is! And sexual predators like Harvey Weinstein say:

“It’s just – I’m confused- and men are confused about all these issues!”
