Can you understand what is meant, for example, by an article like
this?
Bear in mind that the author is a woman, and that she is very strongly against sexual assault/rape.
She backs up what you are basically saying and she gives an example of a man that had a woman that said 'no' without actually meaning it, he took it literally, she was very offended, then went to have sex with someone else.
The comments put it well. We often don't literally say what we mean.

Pack it in, bro.
Her reply:
“Hmmm ... It still sounds to me like you’re implying that it’s the women who are sending mixed signals ... not the men who don’t know how to read them as something other than what they want to read. I doubt that any woman who felt raped and protested during the act would feel it’s fair on her to say she sent mixed signals when she told him to stop.”
You are talking about exceptions. If "no" is a game (which it most often isn't), it's usually accompanied by a flirty smile and tantalizing, flirtatious body language, like referred in the article as well. It's a horrid excuse to attack on a woman because she wasn't didn't say no "in the right way".
If she is not comfortable, one should stop. It doesn't have to mean she will never be comfortable enough, she may just need more time and trust, but until that, you have no right to be selfish enough to push it. This is typical, and different to the "game" you're talking about. Don't force to read signals or comments as you want them to be.
