115. I don't know you still seem overly inclined to believe that no means go
I think that as you describe (a guy who needs to hear it to think he has overcome some resistance) is the one who has the issue. And to make him feel good, women shouldn't be put at risk. In other words pretending that "no doesn't always mean no" is a phrase that helps assuage the egos and games of men who may blur that line too closely and too often. Why are we protecting them? Got me.

No means no until it becomes yes. You can coerce but not reengage until you have that acquiescence but if one assumes no means go - it is the person making the assumption that has the issue.

And with this law - there is more clarity on who has the legal responsibility of accepting no as meaning no rather than go.
