She said no repeatedly. She never consented, she never assented (as someone points out in another comment). Lying there and not participating in the sexual encounter is a clear sign of discomfort and not consenting. Rape looks like this too. If she was “being coy” she would have participated or responded to the…

I can’t even say how many times I’ve frozen up and have been unable to speak in confrontational situations. Later of course, I chide myself for not saying something and feel guilty that I somehow am responsible for not doing so.

And her chocolate store is called CACAO??

Thanks for this. As I mentioned earlier in a Deen article, we need a “Fair Trade” certification process where workers arent harassed, trafficked, and subject to humiliation (unless it’s that kind of porn).

This is perfect for me because I can only get off on my own smug sense of superiority.
