Thank you for the link.
I was in total agreement with the article about people respecting a no to attention, I think many have experienced being leaned on and it is a nuisance as well as the verbal abuse that often comes when, after several polite hints, you loose your patience and tell people to Go Away.

But I have trouble with the statistics of rape - where do they come from? And with the idea of seeing all males as potential rapists and all women as potential victims. I do not think I could live that way.

Here is the problem as viewed from another area, it can be very serious:

Of course I agree with the rest that subs as well as anybody else have the right to say no.

A final comment on being viewed as a sex object: on a camp I was on quite a few men relished being seen as sex objects and claimed their right to it.
I could see the fun of that :-)
But it was under their control, and ended with the end of the camp, or it might have felt rather different.
