Buying dinner jokes were totally in the zeitgeist from that era. See all the jokes in media about who should pick up the tab. For the second part, I'm talking about consent in all parts of a relationship. Politely accepting no is a part of finding a consenting partner. Up until very recently, men didn't have to accept no. They were legally protected in not accepting no. I said the new rule is "politely accepting no as an answer" was a new rule, you said it was always the rule. I provided a counter example saying it was clearly not always the rule.
