Q. Now I know you're trolling. They're the same thing.
A. Not true. When it comes to sexual activity in particular, 'consenting' and 'consensual' describe actions that you perform of your own volition. 'Consent' is something that you permit somebody else to do to you.
Most sexual encounters are consensual in nature, in that all parties involved are active and willing participants. Advocates of the feminist ideology, however, have popularised the alternative use of the word 'consent' in this context, because it reframes an otherwise mutual encounter as being adversarial in nature; as something that a women (specifically, and by implication, grudgingly) permits a man (specifically) to do to her.
Ignoring the misogynistic overtone of such an assertion—that women are mere objects, unable to exercise agency, only able to allow others to act upon them—the slope doesn't have to be that slippery for this to be reduced to 'all sex is rape', as this is in fact what some of the most influential feminist thinkers have contended.
Q. But feminism is supposed to be about the advocacy of women's rights. How can it be misogynistic?
A. Because it is a cult, and a very power hungry one at that. Its stated goals are a mere facade to give it a veneer of legitimacy. Its primary concern is with thought policing its advocates, luring in new followers, and demonising anybody who rejects it—or worse—anybody perceived to have insufficiently embraced it unquestioningly.
Needless to say, those who stand to profit from it financially do so by making the most ridiculous claims, which followers may only take at face value, lest they become a pariah.
Reject labels. Embrace facts.
