Token resistance is historical Mystery-era jargon for a maybe that was not a real no — a pause, a joke, a test. This wiki records the term. It does not treat a no as a token. Enthusiastic consent is a hard stop.[1]
In practice
In practice: freeze, pull back, use words. If she is not clearly in, you are done with that beat. Folklore that 'women say no when they mean yes' is how people become a problem. See last-minute resistance for the older article, which already carries the same stop rule.
