"Christian feminism"? Do you actually know anything about feminism? A Christian brand certainly exists, but the majority of modern feminist thought emphasizes individual freedom, a position that is rather at odds with the traditional formulations of Abrahamic belief systems. Obviously, you'll find liberal Christians who subscribe to third-wave feminism, and you'll find a bastardized feminism among some more conservative Christians (generally designed to give some basis to Christian sex-negativity, a function that is in opposition to modern sex-positive feminism); however, true third-wave feminism and conservative Christianity don't have a lot in common.
Right, this is what I mean. There's a distinct difference between someone who is being masking their interest in a flirtatious way (something that both men and women do) and someone who is resisting your advances, at least at the point where physical behaviour becomes an issue. I'm sure that it can, in some cases, be difficult to tell the difference between refusal and flirtation in the early stages of a romantic interaction -- from across the bar or whatever -- but once you actually get to physical contact, it should be clear.
"Hey guys, I'm looking for an aggressive, inconsiderate mate! As such, I will seek out someone who will force me to have sex, because I just love hanging around with dangerous lunatics."
"No" means "no", you dope. There's a difference between being coy -- a very strict and limited set of behaviours, which are flagrantly obvious as such -- and resisting somebody's advances. Are you unable to grasp this? If you actually have to force someone to have sex with you, you're raping them. If they actually wanted this to occur, the intention would be unmistakably clear.
