She told him "no," and he kept going. My kids know that if they ask once, it's fine. If they get an answer and they ask again, they're in trouble. The people raising their kids to do otherwise are making this world a shittier place to live. [/quote]
I always say "no" first. Many of us are. If not for persistent courtship that resulted in a marrige I wouldn't exist (parents are still happily married).[/quote]

"Persistent courtship." Now there is a euphemism. I'm not going to say it's the main part of the problem, but saying "no" as a shit-test is at least part of the problem with our current dynamic. Guys will either think they need to push a little harder *or* they'll know they are doing wrong but use the need for "persistent courtship" as a smoke screen to excuse their abusive behavior.  Make sure yes means yes and no means no. Try to avoid "maybe" if you know it's yes or no, but also say "maybe" where you legitimately don't know. [/quote]
