An iConsent to Sex App? Australian Police Commissioner proposes App to combat sexual violence/rape.

[speak easy]

An iConsent App would enable all users to formally document their consent to sex, with a press of a button giving permission for “one intercourse”, valid for 24 hours. No this is not satire.

An iConsent app? That’ll press a girl’s buttons, Commissioner
Kerri Sackville, Sydney Morning Herald columnist

In yet another Groundhog Day for Australian women, a middle-aged white male has proposed a solution to the problem of sexual violence.

No, it’s not a plan to educate men on how to treat women with respect. It’s not a strategy to reduce the sense of entitlement many men feel over women’s bodies. Oh, and it’s certainly not a pledge to believe women who allege sexual assault, or to make the process of seeking justice easier and less traumatic.

No, ladies, it’s an app.

Yes, the NSW Police Commissioner, Mick Fuller, has proposed a Consent App, similar to that used in Denmark. The Denmark app, iConsent, allows users to formally document their consent to sex, with a press of a button giving permission for “one intercourse”, valid for 24 hours. I am not entirely sure what happens if you want more than one intercourse within that 24-hour period, or if an act of intercourse begins at hour 23 and continues through ’til hour 25, but that’s for the Danish to sort out.

... It is stunning, I know, to consider that an idea proposed by a 50-something male doesn’t effectively meet the needs of women, but alas, it does not.
