But in most cases of human interaction, one can generally conclude that if your own behavior is likely to do another person harm physically or emotionally, it might be more ethical to avoid doing that harm. Legally, I think the standard should be based on consent and I think people should be presumed competent to give consent pretty broadly. But there's a whole lot of behavior that can be legal at one standard but actually require a higher standard to be ethical or moral, and I don't see it as harmful to address that.

Just to make sure my response accurately portrays your feelings, you're arguing that the moral responsibility for the guys is to avoid having consensual group sex with this woman, because it might harm her reputation in 2009 America?
