why are feelings important with regards to consent? consent is the ability to understand and agree. feelings have nothing to do with that. the ability to consent has nothing to do with feelings if you don't already have the ability to understand and agree.
Consent is needed if you do something with another being with feelings. Feelings aren't needed to be able to consent. That's simple logic, if you can't understand that you're incapable of discussing that argument.
so why do you keep bringing it up? it's absurd to discuss consent from something that is incapable of consent.
you haven't shown why you think this is reasonable from subjects which are incapable of consent, nor bothered to define feelings.
