When I was a boy, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, we were explicitly taught that “no” meant “you’re not trying hard enough” and this message was backed by popular media/movies and sometimes actual testimony from the opposite sex. It took decades of unlearning to acquire a healthier sense of what consent meant. Not forgiving or excusing, but adding some often-missing context. I don’t think the current younger generation was raised with this warped view, thank goodness!
