I’ve known women who want to tell you no and have you take what you want anyway

...and I've met women who will say that because it sounds smart at the moment. They maybe genuinely wanting to play a little bit of a game within reason, but when speaking on the topic they will just casually forget about the nuance and insist on "no does not mean no, don't give up boy" BS.

They don't realize that saying that in a group of reasonable polite people, assuming we all know what it really means (play just a little bit), it's not entirely BS, but if there's a desperate sociopath/stalker with no ability to respect limits properly there somewhere, then they might just take it as justification for rape.
