The recent court case regarding a certain celebrity has revealed a big shift in the concept of “consent” regarding sexual relations. Consent no longer exists in 2026. Not to denigrate the victims of the convicted rapist Russell Brand, but to highlight a new precedent in the feminist MeToo movement that activated many of these trials.
A man can be accused by any woman of rape after as many years have passed. She does not have to contribute any form of evidence apart from her word to have a man convicted and sentenced to prison. If after consensual sex occurred, and she changes her mind, or she feels spiteful that the man is now a successful celebrity, or whatever, she can file a rape case. She can claim to be raped despite continuing sexual relations with a man after the so-called rape occurred.
The clincher here is that no evidence is needed to commit a man to prison. It is her words only that matter in a court of law.
In this respect, consent no longer exists because any historical event dating back decades can be altered, changed and presented to a court of law by a woman purely with her words, anonymously, with no physical or recorded evidence required to convict a man.
For a man to have sexual relations with any woman now and not go to prison, she must not be aggravated by the man in any way, in the present and future. If she is aggravated, either the man has a differing political view in the future, or he says or does something she does not agree with, then she can change her mind about the prior consent. Celebrities and influential men, or high-ranking businessmen or politicians, are at the highest risk from the disappearance of consent and are most vulnerable to trial by social media. Men are thus at the mercy of any woman’s mood or mindset, in the present, in the past, and in the future.
Consent is dead. MeToo killed consent. Consent no longer exists in a world where the truth and justice does not exist any more.
Women won, and they won totally.
