The next screen shows cars, but the text shows something like "You're defending the wrong things." (I left the episode at the other computer, so I can't confirm the actual words.) This screen is before Araragi asks himself the question of judging as a man.
So my understanding is:
- Araragi at first just wanted to fix her hair or pat her head but was surprised that she moved away.
- So maybe as a test, he just touched (well lifted actually) her skirt, but now he was again surprised since this time she didn't do anything.
- Thus the text that read "Why are you defending the wrong things?".
Based on Nadeko's reactions, it's like she doesn't want her hair/head to be touched/patted, since she doesn't want to be treated like a little girl. And she allows her skirt to be lifted to show sexual ease and maturity, again treating the person in front of her as a "man" instead of just a caring older brother.
Damn, not good with explaining stuff. 
But I hope you get what I mean.  |
Seems like a good explanation. The thing I'm confused with is how he's like "When I do it with you, it feels like your judging me as a man"
The thing is, most times in anime, when say a female is naked or partially unclothed in front of a guy, and she doesn't react much to it, the guy goes like "She doesn't see me as a man does she"
oh, how about when Nadeko spaz out and runs off when Hanakawa shows up. is this because she's still a very shy person?
EDIT: hm, maybe the 'it' refers to the hair thing, and not the skirt thing..
