I remember reading about that at the time. IIRC she didn't even say "Stop". She said "I have to go home, I have to go home" and it took him 15-20 seconds to translate from female into plain English that she wanted him to stop. Moral of the story "No means no but almost anything else can mean no too".

In the early 90s, this "translation from female into plain English" was debated. It was ridiculous. While in consensual sex, a woman shrieking No... NOO.. NOOOOO! at a pivotal moment.

Does she mean "stop" or does she mean "MORE!".

Moral of the story "No means no but almost anything else can mean no too".

You are exactly right -- that's exactly what was decided in the case I cited, too. This then led to feminists on campuses authoring campus policies which hoped to mandate "contracts" for those who date. No, I'm not kidding.
