Hi clo,
I think it is wise to assume a human being isn't a robot.
You want to have a broad pathway for permitted human behaviour and have only the extreme cases have legal ramifications. Otherwise you live in a nation of lawyers patrolled by litigious "victims".
If I was a judge, and you will probably say thank goodness I am not (!), I would treat a person differently depending upon their behaviour. I'd maybe give some additional respect to a nun.
We've talked before about no means no, and whether that works in all situations. Let's say, between the moment a woman is satisfied and the man takes his turn.
Are you saying there's no such thing as provocation? Or that flirting isn't a thing? No one should forget we are animals.
In English law, provocation is an influence on the treatment of a person for murder. Manslaughter is employed where a person kills due to loss of control.
Looked at another way, sexual provocation may one day be interpreted as a form of sexual harassment.
In my view, it is unwise to think there's a universal trump power in your position.
