> Imagine you have a bachelor friend who has security cameras dotted around his house, including in his bedroom. These cameras normally record images only at a low frame rate but have motion detectors and switch to full-speed with sound when motion is detected. He confides in you that he leaves these cameras on 24/7. On occasion, he entertains ladies overnight. Their sex sessions are perforce recorded.

That he was being either prudent or just liked recorded sex.

Same. I’ve always been told that it’s perfectly reasonable for women to treat every man they meet as a potential rapist; I fail to see why it’s then wrong to return the favor and treat every woman like a potential accuser.
