Women Can't Withdraw Consent?

A Maryland appellate court ruled that once a woman consents to sex, she can’t change her mind. Not if it hurts, not if her partner has become violent, not if she simply wants to stop. Now, the state's highest court is hearing the argument again. (Yay!)
The court’s ruling cites a case from 1980, which defines rape based on common law that considers women property. This definition says that rape is just the initial “deflowering” of a woman; in fact, the injured party in a rape isn’t even the woman who has been assaulted—it’s her father or husband. The decision notes that after penetration—the “initial infringement upon the responsible male’s interest in a woman’s sexual and reproductive functions”—anything following can’t be rape because “the damage is done” and the woman can never be “re-flowered.”
