Tiffany: 本期节目关注通过教育赋能自我，推动法律体系变革，以应对性侵犯案件中存在的诸多问题。 Joyce Short: 现行法律对"同意"缺乏明确定义，导致许多案件无法得到有效起诉。法律如同"瑞士奶酪"，漏洞百出，无法有效保护受害者。法律需要明确定义"同意"，才能有效处理相关案件。同意的定义应为：知情、自愿且有判断能力的个人同意。使用武力、恐吓或欺骗，以及利用他人无行为能力等行为，均构成非自愿行为，无论受害者言语或行为如何。关键在于施害者是否有恶意意图，而非受害者的言语或行为。只有正确定义法律中的"同意"，才能阻止将责任推卸给受害者的现象。 Nina Lucas: 现有的同意教育和法律概念存在问题，例如"热情同意"等说法，容易导致责备受害者。"yes means yes"、"no means no"等说法存在缺陷，容易将责任归咎于受害者。"yes"并不总是代表同意，"no"也不总是能被表达出来。同意存在不同形式，例如明示同意和默示同意，但默示同意并不总是代表真正的同意。在胁迫或暴力情况下，即使受害者表示"yes"，也不构成同意。判断是否构成性侵的关键在于施害者是否存在恶意意图，而非受害者的行为。 Joyce Short: 纽伦堡法典和GDPR都对"同意"的定义与同意意识网络的定义相似。纽伦堡法典的制定源于对纳粹医生的战争罪审判，其对同意的定义对医疗行为具有指导意义。GDPR对数据输入的规定也与同意意识网络对同意的定义相似。比尔·科斯比案的陪审员了解GDPR中的同意定义，这影响了案件的判决结果。在科斯比案中，法官未能对"同意"给出明确定义，这影响了陪审团的判决。宾夕法尼亚州最高法院对科斯比案的裁决存在问题，这与缺乏对"同意"的明确法律定义有关。在温斯坦案中，陪审团也询问了"同意"的定义，但同样没有得到明确的回答。法律对"同意"的模糊定义助长了性侵犯行为。明确定义"同意"可以简化案件审理流程，减少对受害者的责备。性侵犯者通常是惯犯，因此明确定义"同意"对于保护更多受害者至关重要。 Nina Lucas: 许多受害者因为法律对"同意"的模糊定义而无法获得正义。在法律中明确定义"同意"是一项人权。法律对性侵犯的定义过于狭隘，需要更广泛的理解。并非所有性侵犯都构成强奸，应根据伤害程度划分不同等级。现行法律对性侵犯的定义过于狭隘，导致许多案件无法得到有效处理。在印第安纳州，他们努力推动法律对"同意"的明确定义，但未能成功。他们努力推动在《国防授权法案》中明确定义"同意"，但遭到参议院否决。在阿肯色州，他们努力推动法律对"同意"的明确定义以及取消强奸案件的诉讼时效。在阿肯色州，他们努力解决性侵犯案件中DNA取证的问题。要改变现状，需要通过立法明确定义"同意"。法律对"同意"的模糊定义导致司法不公。受害者不应为遭受性侵犯而感到内疚或羞愧。

Deep Dive

Chapters
Joyce Short and Nina Lucas discuss the definition of consent and its importance in the legal system, emphasizing the need for a clear definition to prevent victim blaming and ensure justice.
  • Consent is defined as freely given, knowledgeable, and informed agreement by a person with the capacity to reason.
  • Current legal definitions often lack clarity, leading to victim blaming and inadequate prosecution of offenders.
  • Using force, fear, fraud, or exploiting someone's incapacity negates consent, regardless of verbal or physical actions.
