"In he-said, she-said sexual assault cases, critics of affirmative consent say the policy puts an unfair burden of proof on the accused."

This is my problem with 'affirmative consent'. Anyone that feels regretful the next day can then go ahead and say they were raped.

Even if they had oral consent, it will be one word against another. Will we now need a written contract before having sex? Because this seems like what is eventually going to happen to avoid a criminal court case.
