Seriously. What the hell? I mean, are these guys such refined rapists that they need the trappings of civilization around them in order to carry out the deed?

It's the mind of the chauvinist male. I can't count the number of times I've heard uncles, cousins, etc reference women who "played hard to get" and then "later found out they looooved it". The faux-romance is part of the domination. It's bullsh*t rationalization of what is rape. For the record, though, I don't get where it's hard to draw the line for sexual harassment. If you've ever been through it, you
feel the line.
Oh, and jewelry/clothes/cash checking sections are fairly common in the big latino grocery stores.
