The way the film depicted it, NOT MY PERSONAL OPINIONS:
------------------------------------
She refused to touch him at the fundraising lines so he was justified in showing her what's what. Because she was so horny it didn't matter ultimately who she was having sex with as long as they did it well. That's why she wasn't horrified, she was only surprised and impressed that a nerd could sex so well.

--------------------------------

While skimming through to find the scene, I stumbled across the video feeds the nerds had installed in the women's changing rooms.



It is powerful imagery when conduct that would now be criminalized is made to be heroic mainly because the protagonists start on the margins of societal acceptance.


This movie lays out quite effectively the challenge we as a society have in getting it right when the notion of consent is so effectively dismissed.
