Our autonomy can be compromised by limitations in our capacities, or by the power relationships within which we are embedded. If we insist that real consent requires full autonomy, then virtually no sex will turn out to be consensual. I argue that under conditions of compromised autonomy, consent must be socially and interpersonally scaffolded. To understand consent as an ethically crucial but nonideal concept, we need to think about how it is related to other requirements for ethical sex, such as the ability to exit a situation, trust, safety, broader social support, epistemic standing in the community, and more.

性同意的非理想理论

我们的自主权可能会因我们能力的限制或我们所处的权力关系而受到损害。如果我们坚持真正的同意需要完全的自主权，那么实际上没有任何性行为是自愿的。我认为，在自主权受损的情况下，同意必须在社会和人际交往中得到支持。要将同意理解为一个道德上至关重要但非理想的概念，我们需要考虑它与道德性行为的其他要求之间的关系，例如退出情境的能力、信任、安全、更广泛的社会支持、在社区中的认知地位、和更多。
