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
