You say that, but there is a historical basis to making a point out of it
For example, martial rape wasn't considered rape or even sexual assault for a long time. And many people might also take someone not saying no as implicit consent, which is not necessarily the case
It can be a bit more nuanced than it may initially seem, in the sense that like, there can be different understandings of consent
Buuuut of course I don't know the context of your conversation
Holy fuck, there's two of ya.
Great good faith response to my comment, for sure
I think you underestimate how many people might not have a complete understanding of consent, and just dismissing it outright like this isn't.. as productive as you might think it is
