Forced seduction[edit]

  • ... that the literary motif of "forced seduction" was called a male rape fantasy, an attempt by the hero to get to know the heroine, a useful lesson for women to not dress sexy, and an enjoyable fantasy?

  • Everything checks out technically except one part of the hook - the last part. That isn't directly cited, and the indirect cite is more specific, I'm not sure I'd be happy stretching it to the generality here. If you're ok with it, I'd suggest simply dropping everything after the last comma, or alternately replacing it with something along the lines of "who then fall in love.".

  • Well, Maury Markowitz, it's cited to the Jaid Black quote. But if you like, I can tweak this some (sourced to the same quote):

Ok, that does work. I'm still not entirely happy with the wordiness of the hook, I think there's likely much shorter and hookier statements, but that's not a reason not to go as-is. Maury Markowitz (talk) 18:35, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

BTW, Google Translate does a fantastic job on that article. It's a seemingly perfect translation. Maury Markowitz (talk) 18:35, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
