That it’s possible for a man to interpret a woman’s initial permission as license to steamroll over any boundary she might set after that. That once a woman says yes, it’s possible a man might not give a shit when she changes her mind. He might tear off her clothes; he might bruise her body and send splinters of blistering fear into her soul. He might do this even if he’s someone she knows, someone she loves and trusts. And then she might end up in a bar with a fake smile plastered on her face, trying to act like none of it mattered, trying to believe, despite the agony deep down inside her bones, that she’s over what he did, desperate to pretend she’s safe.”
