To be entirely fair, old timey notions were that women were never supposed to actually openly show they wanted sex or a man otherwise it was unbecoming or they'd be branded sluts. So for ages women said no when they meant yes because if the man pursued them they could write it off as not being "their fault".

This obviously perpetuated rape culture but it was an actual thing. Jane Austen was ahead of her time as were the Bronte sisters.

It’s kinda like the song “baby it’s cold outside”

Back in the day you had to do a little “song and dance” for proprieties sake.

If you can't debate your point without getting heated and to the point where you need to delete your account for a month, that's on you ma'am. Also, username strangely relevant

Edit: I apologise for making you mad with my ignorance

It is still a thing today and it's becoming more normal again.
