   The question isn't nonconsensual behavior but ambiguous behavior. A lot   
   of animal courtship looks as though the male is   
   seducing/bribing/bullying the female into sex, with the female initially   
   reluctant. Aqua, observing similar behavior in humans, interprets it as   
   the result of the brainwashing of females.
