CMV: No doesn't always mean no

Let me be clear, of course no means no, but let's be honest, lots of people, women being no exception, like to be pursued. A fairly sizeable minority enjoy actively making it difficult for potential partners and enjoy watching them making a persistent effort to "win" them. Social interactions are so broad and convoluted, from body language and tone to double entendres there are a million ways in which you could be engaging in non-consensual activity from the strict point of view of a conversational transcript while not once violating consent in reality. 

By the same token of course there are also a million ways to say no that don't involve words and both partners need to take responsibility for being clear when you really mean it to being receptive to subtle signals.

My point is simply that a spoken "no" does not always mean "stop what you're doing" because taken in context with the rest of the communication, it sometimes means quite the opposite and i think this grey area is often skated over.

The concept of "no means no" simply invites to always err on the side of caution in some specific contexts, e.g. the context of discussing sex on a date. It doesn't literally imply that nobody is ever coy.

For example, when discussing the aforementioned sex on a date, it is now considered good to assume that no literally means that, even though in some cases it doesn't. On the other hand, if you're offering to gorge on three pizzas to a friend and they say "no im dieting pls no", you're free to insist, because they're *so* fat anyway, what could a couple of pizzas change ffs.
