Saying no=a demand

Insight! As the New Agers liked to say.

Yes, yes that is a good insight. We are not allowed to say no. Not ever, not to anything. We’re not allowed to have our own views, or to reject the views of the Enlightened Ones. It doesn’t matter how absurd it is to think of India Willoughby or Freda Wallace as enlightened; we’re still not allowed to say no. Shut up, curtsy, and sweep the second-best drawing room.
