[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Because only yes means yes and she never says yes in the song.  Trying to change someone's mind repeatedly without regard to them not saying yes is an act of violence.[/quote]

The times they are a changin'.  Sorry olds. [/quote]

You don't know the word no?

No one has ever flirted with you?

Enjoy your sad little life. [/quote]

You've never had someone take no for an answer?

You don't know that only yes means yes?

No one has ever pressure you into sex or raped you?

Enjoy your happy little life. The world is a little darker than you think it is. [/quote]

Just ticking it off the numbers from the top of my head, I've turned down about 35 men for sex over the years with either a direct no or leaving the scene immediately.  It's not rocket science.  People are free to try to convince me of something, and I'm free to say no or get the hell out. The exception is if someone has some sort of power of you you, like employment. Now if you make the man in the BICO song her boss, then yes, it's very coercive.

Yes, someone has pressured me to have sex -- my husband. I'd say that's fairly typical for a DH to make his best pitch and not give up right away.

The most coerced I've ever been is a car sales office where they took my keys and wouldn't give them back because they wanted to keep me talking about their dam car. A threat to call the police finally got my keys back.
