On Thursday, the California Legislature passed a bill requiring state universities to adopt a "yes means yes" affirmative consent policy, aimed at curbing campus sexual assaults. The new law promotes the novel idea that having sex with someone who is unconscious or otherwise unresponsive is not consensual -- a notion that has yet to be codified into law elsewhere, but which could spur a culture change across college campuses, according to the Associated Press:Sen.
