Sex

NO MEANS...TRY AGAIN? What is sexual consent? Now we're told "affirmative consent" must be "enthusiastic" and ongoing. That's the language from a new California law, and it is policy at many universities. But this is nonsense. Men and women Stossel interviewed often admitted that many women want to play "hard to get." MATTRESS GIRL: Columbia student Emma Sulkowicz says another student raped her, but Columbia did nothing about it. For months she's carried the mattress she was allegedly raped on everywhere to raise awareness over the school's failure to expel the boy.

Stossel quizzes "The Independents" hosts Kennedy, Matt Welch, and Kmele Foster to see if they can tell which laws are real and which ones were made up by John's staff. For instance: In Massachusetts... Sex between u
