About this Quote

In this quote, feminist author Andrea Dworkin is highlighting the blurred lines in between seduction and rape. She recommends that seduction, which is frequently seen as a consensual act, can really be tough to distinguish from rape. Dworkin argues that in both cases, the wrongdoer is utilizing control and browbeating to get control over their victim. Nevertheless, she keeps in mind that in seduction, the rapist may make an effort to appear more charming and romantic, such as purchasing a bottle of wine, in order to mask their real intents. This quote functions as a suggestion that consent must be freely offered and can not be bought or pushed.
