Get real. Yes there is such thing as taking someone out of context or making a straw man argument, but throughout the whole paragraph she characterizes consensual sex as an act of invasion physically and mentally. "All sex is rape" sums it up pretty well. She's using words like "invasive", "violating", and "occupied" to describe typical sex, words which are much more fitting for describing rape. It even describes it as physically invasive so it isn't even like she's saying women typically get f**** in demeaning positions, but that a dick being thrust into her p**** per se is a "persistent invasion".
So there you go, don't be surprised if people get "All sex is rape" out of this.

Fixed.
Peeps be ignorant- if they weren't, there'd be no need to ignore the actual PREMISE OF THE BOOK in favor of quotemining.
