Are they?
What pressure exactly are they experiencing?
Why can't they leave, move away from the guy, ask the guy to leave, change the subject? We have already said it's different if they are being violent towards you, or have locked the doors to prevent you from leaving.
As a girl who has
been that girl "no" and then persuaded yes, on a one night stand basis, when very very drunk, I really think it's bullshit to try and say that this is rape or anything like it.
How many times do you think that happens? "No I don't want to" "No" and then eventually "yes" --
a lot, especially on a one night stand kind of basis. And it's so,
so not rape. There is no reason for a girl to feel pressured. If the guy manages to change their mind through for example, maybe turning them on or reassuring them or anything else.. it's NOT rape. Persuasion is not taking advantage.
And on that note, taking advantage is in no way rape either.
