The issue of sexual assault is an unavoidable topic for feminism. In the crime of sexual assault, consent is the core. Socialist feminism combines the class view of Marxism and the gender view of radical feminism. It is a branch of feminism with rich connotation, and also provides a favorable perspective for analyzing the consent system in the crime of sexual assault. This paper aims to understand the concept of socialist feminism and the connotation and origin of the consent system in sexual assault in China and Britain. Apart from this, different analytical angles of two famous scholars of socialist feminism are employed to compare the consent system in sexual assault between China and Britain as well as explore the significance of mutual reference and suggestions based on the specific era background.
