I went back and forth a bit on whether “nonconsent” or “anticonsent” was the right term to use for the bulk of this post. I’ve encountered women whose preferences look like one, and other women whose preferences look like the other, including at earlier parts of the pipeline (inconveniently). For instance, wanting a guy to pursue hard even after he’s turned down seems not-uncommon, despite it being obviously very obnoxious in cases where it’s actually unwanted. That would be an earlier-stage version of “anticonsent”, as opposed to “nonconsent/aconsent”.
I ended up going with “nonconsent” because it’s a broad enough term to capture both, and I think both are relevant.
