Line 116:
* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', ''A Storm of Swords'': Among the wildlings, kidnapping and raping a woman is essentially their version of courting. When {{spoiler|Jon}} attacks a group of wildlings and can't find it in himself to kill the woman, he lets her go. Later, she will ''not stop trying to sleep with him''. Turns out she's summarily pissed off that he didn't rape her like he was supposed to, {{spoiler|although she gets her way, big time, eventually. She has to save his life to do it, though. Twice}}. [[Blue and Orange Morality|It's our version of taking a woman out to a lovely dinner and not so much as kissing her at the door.]]
* After her [[Arranged Marriage]], Siri in ''[[Warbreaker]]'' is expected every night to prostrate herself naked before the God King and wait until he effectively rapes her. After several nights of waiting and him doing nothing more than watch her, Siri feels a little indignant at his disinterest. She does recognise the flawed logic though.
* ''[[Gone with the Wind]]'': In the book version, during the siege of Atlanta, Scarlett expresses her fear of the Yankees to Rhett, who guesses she's talking about rape, and laughs at her. He tells her the Yankees aren't fiends and mocks at the way delicately nurtured and pure-minded Southern ladies think. Scarlett is embarrassed because she knows he's
* ''[[Hostile Takeover]]'': CC grumpily (and drunkenly) ponders the fact that [[Space Marine]] Marc Davidoff had failed to make any inappropriate advances toward her, despite their ongoing, unacknowledged [[UST]].
{{quote|"He hadn't even tried to kiss her. Not that he should, seeing as she was engaged. And not that she wanted him to. But he hadn't even ''tried''."}}
Line 123:
=== Live-Action TV ===
* Not exactly "ravishing", but in one episode of ''[[Frasier]]'',
* The trope quote appears verbatim in ''[[The Professionals]]'' episode "Where the Jungle Ends". To force information out of a corrupt government man, Bodie informs him that his schoolgirl daughter has been kidnapped and is currently being held hostage outside in the team's car. The little dear proves to be horribly precocious, and demands to know whether Doyle, sitting with her in the vehicle, is "going to ravish me", as she believes this to be what happens in such situations from the bodice-rippers that she's read. Doyle, however, is thankfully far too nice a chap to do so, and the two finally end up sharing a bar of chocolate instead.
* ''[[Blackadder]]''
Line 166:
=== Web Comics ===
* In the webcomic ''Prelude'', a boy tries to trick Lilith into kissing him by acting injured so she would give him CPR. She came to the decision that since no one else was around, it was all up to
* There was one comic around (forgot the name) where a girl has just been kidnapped by the enemy's army and is held at the enemy leader's private chambers... but that's it (it '''is''' their best defended room, after all). She asks him repeatedly if he's going to abuse her, and is deeply angered at his repeated negatives {{spoiler|because she has a curse that makes every man she sleeps with die afterwards}}.
* The first strip of ''[[Ghastly's Ghastly Comic|Ghastlys Ghastly Comic]]'' is like this (see the page pic).
