> be a little pushy Eh? Why would that be ok? I think it's worth asking them why they don't want it anymore. If they continue to say no, do you really think it is ok to start pouring it down their throat? Consent can be revoked at any point in time. For what it's worth I think most cultures today are crap at consent. I think many of us are victim to a pre-#MeToo culture where sexual harrasment was somewhat more socially 'acceptable' or 'accepted' [1][2]. I think of the memes of women who seem uncomfortable when Biden touches them. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk talks about his desire for a 'trauma-conscious' society.

I guess Spike Lee ( Blackkklansman , 2018), Boots Riley ( Sorry to Bother You , 2018), Taika Waititi ( Jojo Rabbit , 2019), etc. are one of the few people left with the power to make the jokes they want. Or are those not the kinds of jokes you were thinking about? (TW: next paragraph) I get the sense that you are simply wrong about this.
