Make no mistake this law is aimed at men, for obvious reasons. soceity expects men to take the sexual initiative.
If I was a male currently in the dating scene I think I'd approach it something like;
"can I just respectfully say that I wont take any sexual initiative here, and that if that is your expectation, you should ask for that explicitly. I think I would take such a request favourably"
Put a bit of humour in it, but you are being respectful both to the female and the law, opening that conversation, rather than play some outdated seduction game.
The law has actually encouraged you to be direct, and they cant put anything in the law which is gender specific, cos thats discrimination.

Affirmative sexual consent laws are set to be introduced in Victoria
The government will also amend laws to make it explicit that stealthing is a crime.
