I watched the clips and know lasses that wouldn't blink at that sort of bedroom antics. I also don't believe that anyone is so weak that they cannot stand up and say 'enough' when they have reached the line they have drawn.

If you freeze out of panic, or from past experiences that trained you to react a certain way to sexual violence -- yeah, I can very much believe that a girl can't bring herself to stand up and say no. It's happened to me -- the current situation triggers a gut-level feeling from my past, and I fall into the pattern of behavior that got me through it the first time: say yes, be good, do what you're told, and you'll live through it. Even if the current situation is NOT life-threatening, or was negotiated for beforehand, it can still trigger that hind-brain, primitive fear in me.
You can't understand this kind of thing if you haven't lived it, believe me. That's why the clips upset me so badly.
On editing: Yeah. What Sly said.
