Why are people not protesting ? Businesses should stop buying Microsoft licenses and that should force Microsoft to remove bill gates completely from the company. Same should be done with Musk, trump etc.

    Years after after the fact

    Uh… So it became sexual abuse several years after it happened?

    If that’s the case I think people should stop having sex altogether. And relationships in general. Hell, there’s been times where I’ve regretted intercourse later on too, but never have I thought about it as being rape after the fact.

    The issue with revoking consent after the fact is that you can literally just make anyone a rapist that way. Hell you can do it on purpose if you want to. Pretend to consent and then later say you decided it wasn’t consensual at all.

    In the case of the #MeToo movement you mentioned in another comment, there was usually an explicit or implicit tit-for-tat. I.e “you aren’t getting this role unless you sleep with me” that affected a person’s career. That itself makes consent invalid IMO because it’s coerced. But if you decide to have sex with a billionaire for money - well, there was going to be no negative effect to not doing it. You can live on without that money. Weinstein (and many others like him, I’m sure) acted as a gatekeeper to something rare, movie roles. Money is plentiful in this world and there’s other ways to get it.
