DiManno: Supreme Court’s consent ruling infantilizes women
“In the absence of a constitutional challenge, the appropriate body to alter the law on consent in relation to sexual assault is Parliament, should it deem this necessary.’’

Over to you, House of Commons. No? Not in the mood? Maybe we should dim the lights.

For its part, the Supreme Court of Canada has spoken via a 6-3 decision released Friday on the apparently pressing matter of sex whilst unconscious, bound and with a dildo shoved up one’s rectum.

It’s been deemed sexual assault. And aren’t we all glad that’s been semi-cleared up?
