It's all about Consent. I heard Professor Schulhofer present this book a few months back at the University of Chicago. Within it, he explains that our sexual assault laws are *not* founded on notions of consent, despite widespread popular beliefs to the contrary.Schulhofer argues that our laws must do a better job of protecting sexual assault victims, and that by focusing on . Maudemac said permissible v punishable sexual conduct.. permissible v punishable sexual conduct. Where is the line in the sand?The difference between permissible and punishable sex is a line in the sand drawn by cultural norms. Feminists reasonably believe the line is drawn in the wrong place. That belief is reasonable because nobody knows where the line should be drawn. American law draws the line as well . "Splendid Must-Read" according to A Customer. "Unwanted Sex" explains, in clear and understandable language, how limited is women's (and men's ) legal protection from unwanted sex. Schulhofer shows that rape laws in almost all states STILL require actual physical force or the immediate threat of it: other forms of coercion are okay! Amazing. He convincingly debunks the claims of Camille Paglia, Ka
Schulhofer's proposals for improved reform are thought-provoking and themselves help clarify the parlous state of existing laws and the challenges inherent in regulating sexual behavior. But--equally important--it requires that the law protect our freedom to seek emotional intimacy and sexual fulfillment with willing partners." --Julia Riches. Unwanted Sex masterfully draws together and rearticulates many of the main ideas in the debate over sexual autonomy. Schulhofer, a senior professor at the University of Chicago Law School, notes that "the right to sexual autonomy is simply missing from the list of essential rights that our society grants us as free and independent persons." Throughout the 1990s, debates on

Despite three decades of intense scrutiny and repeated attempts at ambitious reform, our laws against rape and sexual harassment still fail to protect women from sexual overreaching and abuse. It is an ambitious yet sensible vision, committed to allowing willing partners to seek consensual relationships, while fully protecting each person's right to refuse sexual encounters that are not genuinely desired.. With vivid examples, including stranger assaults, date rapes, and sexual encounters between job supervisors and subordinates, teachers and students, doctors and patients, lawyers and clients, Schulhofer shows that recent reforms of rape and sexual harassment law are overrated and inadequate. His proposals for a radically different approach hold the promise of genuine respect and effective protection for the sexual autonomy of both women and men. From the excessive degree of force necessary for an aggressive action to be defined as rape, to the gray areas in which coercion and exploitation can be used to elicit a false but legally valid "consent," Schulhofer offers a clear analysis of the limits of current standards. What went wrong? In this original, provocative, and enlightening work, Stephen Schulhofer, a distinguished scholar in criminal law, shows the need to refocus our laws against rape and to create a new system of legal safeguards against interference with sexual autonomy.Our laws provide comprehensive
