Blacks at that time must show servitude toward Whites. Also black men had to be ultra respectful to white women. Mayella was throwing herself at Tom, yet he had to decline. But his rebuff meant not following her demands.

Tom Robinson is in a no-win situation when trying to get away from Mayella Ewell because as a black man in a segregated society, any interaction with a white woman, especially one accusing him of assault, will lead to severe consequences for him. If he fights back, he risks being lynched by the townspeople, and if he doesn't, he will be wrongly convicted in a biased court system.
