If a woman is completely drunk then she is incapable of giving consent to sex, right? Well not according to Emily Yoffe aka Dear Prudence. In her web chats this week she completely dismissed a scenario where a woman stated she had been date raped on the basis that she had gotten very drunk in ...
Julian Assange lost his extradition appeal in London, and will be on his way to Sweden within ten days. There the Wikileaks founder will be questioned over alleged sex crimes.

A man had sex with an unconscious woman, who is now claiming that he raped her. The catch is that he claims she consented to it. Now the case before the Supreme Court of Canada is whether a person can give consent in advance for things that occur while they are unconscious. The woman passed ...
Another medical group has said that women should not have the right to home birth in certain circumstances. There is so much condescension among doctors towards pregnant women I have to wonder where it will all end. Will they be caged like animals and monitored by nicotine and alcohol bracelets like criminals? The Lancet, a ...
