What i meant by the silence thing is not really literally, moreso by other implict actions which can say otherwise? ie not explcitly saying in a black and white fashion yes or no.
So, if she doesn't explicity say no, does that mean she has consented to sex? i mean, i don't really thinkk it does, although it's quite a delicate subject?
Jadzia covered it a bit, by talking about how the girl stopped him from getting into her pants? I guess it does actualy mean stop as she pointed out, although where there is nothing clear, some people can take interpretation differently. Especailly when it's a guy looking and wanting sex.
So as shakran pointed out as well, it's also about that, but i was mainly wanting to know about some people don't explicitly say no and try to imply it by other means, which may be rather subtle?

But if they say or gesture "STOP" or "NO", it means just that. It's not a game.

some people can interpret gestures differently. I know that stopping hands from doing things is a clear indication, but other ways may be less direct?
This was sorta evident in the movie? in some instances, she didn't want to be penetrated by the guy, which was evident, but then later on she seemed ok with it? Also after getting away from the main person who was "scaring" her, she then performed other sexual acts on another guy? when she could've left if she was "that" uncomfortable?
Although there where definitley instances of what could maybe said as rape or forced sex, she was at other times, rather compliant? I would've thought she may make her intentios toge t out of there more clear, cause the force used wasn't so excessive, such that she couldn't get away at all?
oh well, lots of grey areas and it does change from story to story and case to case.
