22. It's a get out of (culpability) free card.

It's a great tool, if you can convince people of it.

In the US, kids are unable to enter into contracts because they are presumed incapable of making informed decisions. The downside for them is they can't really benefit from intelligent choices.

"Keeping the concept of consent infinitely situational" is the best of both worlds. If your choices land you in the corner office, then obviously you were capable of making informed decisions. If they land you somewhere that we disapprove of, like court or a strip club, then apparently you weren't.

Arguably it'd be a huge victory for advocacy for women to make men accountable for every poor decision while retaining all the benefits of good ones.

If all hetero sex is inherently non-consensual, then logically the victim of that coercion reserves the right to realize it at some later date, such as when she finds out that he had sex with her best friend or when he forgets their anniversary.
