Token resistance
(Redirected from Token Resistance)
Token resistance is a term, commonly referred to in gender studies, denoting a rejection of advances, almost always of the sexual kind, with intention of actually engaging in the activity that was initially rejected.[1]
Scientific validity
[edit | edit source]One study has refuted the stereotype that most women engage in token resistance to sex, with results indicating that perhaps only a very small fraction of women and men have ever engaged in token resistance based on the definition stated within the study.[2]
The same study asserts that both men and women can engage in token resistance, further challenging popular stereotypes.[2]
