Summary

This quote highlights the blurred lines between seduction and rape. It suggests that the gestures or acts of kindness often associated with seduction, such as offering gifts or sharing a bottle of wine, can sometimes be misleading and used to disguise or justify non-consensual actions. The quote challenges the notion that superficial acts of charm or "romantic" gestures automatically absolve the perpetrator, emphasizing the importance of obtaining explicit consent in all sexual encounters.
