‘No’ means ‘No!’
But what if too terrified,
unable to say so?
Silence does not always mean consent,
especially when unwillingly silenced physically,
horrified and petrified emotionally.
Non-resistance does not always mean agreeability,
especially when forced to submit physically,
shocked and anxious emotionally.
No ‘Yes’ still means ‘No!’
Only ‘Yes’ means ‘Yes!’
This should be so.
