LOL, libertarians. Because "click the button on your phone or I'll beat the fuck outta you" totally wouldn't happen.

Requiring overt threat of physical force would probably be a substantial improvement, actually. It would not allow perpetrators to fool themselves, it might make victims less likely to blame themselves and/or more likely to come forward, and it might make things more detectable. I think there is a lot of harm that currently lies in the ambiguity.

It wouldn't eliminate rape entirely, but... duh? That's not a claim anyone was making.
