I took it more as if I ever got the chance to sleep with you, she would feel it. Like come on baby, you’d like it type thing
They were not in a romantic relationship–they were enemies. That sort of line might be okay in bed play between consenting adults who are in a sexual relationship. Hook and Emma were not. And the idea that “come on baby, you’d like it” is EVER okay to say to someone with whom you’re not in a sexual relationship makes my skin crawl.
And the fact that there are people like that doesn’t make it okay. Ever. If a man walked up to you, held you by your wrist, refused to let you go and said “come on baby, you’d like it” how would you react? Would you think, “oh it’s okay. It’s just his character/personality.”
Rape culture, rape culture, rape culture. That’s rape culture. The idea that a woman has to passively take a man’s advances simply because they are women and he’s a man. Whether it’s us telling little girls on the playground that when a boy picks on them it’s because “he likes them” (again, learned social behaviors that continue to manifest well into adulthood) or it’s a man on TV hounding a woman for a date, for sex, for a kiss, for attention and the woman invariably giving in because “she finally fell for his charms” that’s rape culture.
