Do you not get that this is why the concept of enthusiastic consent is so important? I mean, leaving aside the fact that most men who rape know what they are doing and guys who *genuinely did not realize somehow* that they raped someone are a tiny minority (I mean, who fucking misreads body language so badly that they think someone passed-out drunk, or someone lying there shaking or crying, is genuinely consenting?), encouraging men and women to get enthusiastic consent before proceeding with further sexual activity means that guys are less likely to be put in a position of thinking "she was okay with it" because she didn't specifically say no. I mean, it doesn't even have to be some clinical "is this specific act okay", you can turn it into dirty talk, or ask what they want you to do to/with them, etc.
I just... seriously don't get how you can complain about the poor men who don't know they are raping someone and yet belittle the enthusiastic consent movement. If everyone got enthusiastic consent, the few genuinely clueless men out there would *never have to be put in that position*....
