Comment about rape
The comment seems incredibly accurate to me. The point about sexual relations between adults is that there is almost always a difference of opinion about exactly what is going on. In most cases, it isn't important. But if the woman believes that she is being coerced, while the man believes that he is just being a little pushy in an otherwise totally permissive situation, you have the situation described in the quote. And this happens ALL the time, IMHO, when the two involved are not well-acquainted.
