Back in 2014, a consensual sex app came out hoping to encourage better and clearer communication between potential partners. That app is long gone — shocker. 

In its place comes a similar concept from a Dutch digital contract company. The all-men co-founders present LegalFlings, a yet-to-be released app that uses blockchain technology to decentralize your private information about whether you’d like to have sex with someone or not. 

It’s not clear if the LegalFlings creators looked at the many think-pieces detailing the problems with high-tech sexual consent, but the app claims to “redefine” safe sex. Already it’s stirring up the same issues as its predecessors.  Read more…

Consent Girls Lena Dunham Rape Sexual Assault

Lena Dunham defends ‘Girls’ writer accused of rape

“Girls” creator Lena Dunham and her co-producer and writer Jenni Konner have defended a writer from the HBO show who was accused of raping a 17-year-old actress. He was 35 at the time of the alleged assault. 

The allegations against writer Murray Miller, now 40, were reported Friday by The Wrap. Actress Aurora Perrineau, currently 23, filed a police report earlier this year claiming he raped her in 2012 after a drunken night out. Dunham and Konner sent a statement late Friday to The Hollywood Reporter, essentially calling Perrineau a liar. 

“While our first instinct is to listen to every woman’s story, our insider knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3 percent of assault cases that are misreported every year,” they wrote. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, the rate of false reporting for sexual assault ranges from 2 percent to 8 percent. Read more…

Since apparently believing women about sexual abuse that happened when they were young is just too much (and it’s easier for politicians to give a “safe” response that effectively protects abusers), Twitter users decided to clear things up with a powerful hashtag: #MeAt14.

Women shared photos of themselves at 14 in order to show that at that age, a person is still a child — and therefore incapable of giving sexual consent to a 32-year-old man … like Senate candidate Roy Moore, as allegations against the Alabama judge suggest.
