This paper reports the analysis of a 26-million-word corpus of data from an online Pick-Up Artist (PUA) discussion forum. PUAs often use discussion forums as a place to share ‘field reports’ of their experiences in seducing and sleeping with women. Such online environments therefore provide a unique communicative space in which the notion of resistance to sex is discursively constructed and represented by forum members. Research in forensic linguistics has traditionally focused on the ways in which discourses of ‘resistance’ are used by police and lawyers to determine whether consent was given in cases of rape and sexual assault. This paper, therefore, provides an alternative perspective to this issue, and applies a corpus-assisted approach to discourse analysis in order to identify the ways in which ‘resistance’ is represented by this part of the PUA community. A collocation analysis of the community-specialist term ‘LMR’ (‘Last Minute Resistance’) finds three major themes emerging from the data: (i) resistance as something to be overcome, (ii) resistance as insincere, and (iii) resistance as remarkable. The paper ends with a discussion of the implications of these findings, namely in terms of counter-balancing the utmost resistance standard in the legal system and providing education to prevent the incitement of sexual aggression and cyber-enabled violent offences against women and girls.

本文报告了一个在线“拾取艺术家”（PUA）讨论论坛中一个2600万字的数据语料库的分析结果。PUA经常使用讨论论坛作为与女性分享诱惑和睡眠经历的“现场报告”的场所。因此，这样的在线环境提供了独特的交流空间，其中论坛成员以话语方式构建了抗性观念。法医语言学的研究传统上集中在警察和律师使用“抵抗”话语来确定在强奸和性侵犯案件中是否给予同意的方式。因此，本文为该问题提供了另一种观点，并将语料库辅助方法应用于话语分析，以识别PUA社区这一部分代表“抵抗”的方式。对社区专家术语“ LMR”（“最后一分钟抵抗”）的搭配分析发现，数据中出现了三个主要主题：（i）抵抗是要克服的东西；（ii）抵抗是不真诚的；（iii）抵抗一样出色 本文最后讨论了这些发现的含义，即在平衡法律制度中的最大抵制标准以及提供教育以防止煽动性侵害和网络攻击妇女和女童的暴力行为方面。（i）抵抗是要克服的东西；（ii）抵抗是不真诚的；（iii）抵抗是显着的。本文最后讨论了这些发现的含义，即在平衡法律制度中的最大抵制标准以及提供教育以防止煽动性侵害和网络攻击妇女和女童的暴力行为方面。（i）抵抗是要克服的东西；（ii）抵抗是不真诚的；（iii）抵抗是显着的。本文最后讨论了这些发现的含义，即在平衡法律制度中的最大抵制标准以及提供教育以防止煽动性侵害和网络攻击妇女和女童的暴力行为方面。
