    That is a tautology, and also cyclic and thus doesn’t address the point that you can not unconsciously give consent.

      The end effect of obligations, culture, and circumstances are all just consent - even without your direct permission. If the end result is not different, what is the difference then?

      Again, consent by any other name.

        This discussion is going nowhere without a definition to shape it.

        https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/consent

        To express willingness, to give permission.

        It is impossible to give permission or express willingness without knowledge.

        I reject your use of consent in your examples… it would be better expressed as situational realities or obligations of existence rather then mindful permission.

            Consent comes before the outcome. If the outcome happens without consent, the outcome happens without consent. The word consent has a meaning and it isn’t “something that happened”

            You’re ignoring what they’re saying. They know that. They simply disagree with your definition of consent because, well, its not the definition of consent.
