Regarding Title IX, my understanding, for what it is worth, is that resistance is not required for unwelcomeness. 

I share the editorial because I believe we need to consider and respect multiple points of view in our movement, and from time to time I think that groupthink gets the best of us.

Or consider that Title IX may require affirmative consent as an equitable standard, since resistance is not equitable especially given the neurobiology of trauma.  Consider that legally resistance is the default standard to prove unwelcomeness, though it should not be.  Unwelcomeness has its limits when applied to AOD situations in practice, as well.
