This is the heart of the matter. You don't even know what consent is. Many victims of work place sexual harassment and/or assault may not speak out for fear of retaliation. If you kiss one of your co-workers and they don't object that doesn't mean they "let you do it."

I agree. One of the tenets of "rape culture" seems to be that unless a woman goes to the police she has consented to whatever was done to her.

Trump says he was grabbing women and they let him because he was a celebrity. It appears he assumed consent or passivity ahead of time. Since he is not asking "May I grab your XXXXXXX" in advance, why shouldn't we assume that he was groping without consent in at least some cases, and that at least SOME woman did say no?

Another consideration is his position as "boss" in some cases, or with considerable power in places like the set of the Apprentice. Some woman might have been afraid to resist or confused.
