      It’s not that emotion is important for consent, it’s that violation of consent can create trauma. If violation of consent is bad because it’s a negative experience and an animal is capable of experiencing trauma then a violation of its consent is as inherently negative of an experience as it would be for a person.

      A door does not experience anything, it is a door.

      Consent is needed for sexual morally correct intercourse if you want to do it with something capable of having feelings. So having feelings has something to do with consent, because:

      Consent is not needed if the thing we’re doing it to is inanimate and doesn’t have the capability of feeling anything.

        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 for consent. That’s simple logic, if you can’t understand that you’re incapable of discussing that argument.

            Feelings aren’t needed to be able to consent.

            so why do you keep bringing it up? it’s absurd to discuss consent from something that is incapable of consent.

            Consent is needed if you do something with another being with feelings.

            you haven’t shown why you think this is reasonable from subjects which are incapable of consent, nor bothered to define feelings.
