When I say I'm a feminist, I mean that women and men should be treated equally.

If a MAN kisses and flirts with a WOMAN, she has every expectation that he is interested in her and often pursues him. Why shouldn't it be the same when a WOMAN kisses and flirts with a MAN? Shouldn't he assume she's interested in him and have the right to pursue her?

And I clearly stated that Emma didn't say "No."

And for that matter, when did Emma ever come out and actually say she the word "No" to him? Let's see. She shot him down and refused to bond with him in the beginning of "Good Form" 3x5, but by the end of that episode SHE was kissing HIM. When he told her he was going to win her heart, she said it wasn't a contest, she didn't say "No." When he told her in Echo Cave that her kiss had opened him up to loving again, she said it was only a kiss, she didn't say "No." When he told her not a day would go by that he wouldn't think of her, she said "Good", not "No." When he kissed her in NYC and she kneed him in the balls, she didn't know who he was. When he told her he was glad her heart had been broken because that meant it still worked, she walked away. She didn't say "No." When he told her he thought she could be happy in Storybrooke, she gave a smart ass remark. She didn't say "No." She certainly never said "No" in the EF.

As a matter of fact, I don't remember the word "No" coming out of her mouth once. Of course, I could be wrong. I've only seen S3 once.
