IDK, this doesn't sound rapey to me.

It works the other way to.
There's lot of stories in smaller communities with real people rather than propaganda and tv programs.
Some girls are the kind of girls that just like sex. Other girls use sex as an aggressive tool to get what they want - with the threat of telling others that the guy is being inappropriate if he doesn't give in. It's often not strictly blackmail - it sits on the careful line like "Oh you'd sleep with me but wouldn't take care of me? How mean and horrible of you. I'm going to tell others and stop sleeping with you because you deserve to be shamed." Does he want to keep getting sex? Yes, so he gives her stuff and she comes out ahead. It's the "buy a girl dinner" but on a larger scale.
iBecause this is a very conservative community One day it becomes so obvious the daughter is sleeping and other adults confront her parents and start shaming them. The parents go home and start yelling at their daughter. And what's the only defense to make a girl sympathetic for having slept with half the town? "It wasn't my fault someone forced me to do it".
It's the same defense that Theranos women is using "it's not my fault my abusive boyfriend forced me to lie to investors and tell them we had a miracle product".
Same dynamic.
We definitely don't know what happen.
I'm real tired of the one sidedness personally though.
These stories go either way.
