I would suggest that she is in part separating out rape and date rape, which I don't think is a bad thing. If you will - unconsensual sex is bad, unconsensual sex with force, doubly so.
rape is sex without consent. so "date" rape is rape. if there was no consent it. was. rape.
this isn't advanced particle physics here you know!
there's no "not really rapey rape". lack of consent is what MAKES it rape. that's the DEFINITION. also, FEAR and FORCE are not quite the same thing. but, what, does the guy have to say the words "..or i'll kill you" before it's rape now? must the victim be able to show a sufficient number of bruises and lacerations?
excuse my SIMMERING RAGE but really. what the HELL?
i am so making educational flashcards or something.
p.s. you seem to be worried you might be accused of rape after drunken sexin'. maybe you should consider not getting drunk, if this keeps you awake at night? OH NO WAIT THAT WOULD BE AN UNFAIR AND RIDICULOUS RESTRICTION ON YOUR FREEDOM TO RUN YOUR LIFE AS YOU SEE FIT. unlike all the stuff women are supposed to do to avoid rape. that's quite different. they're women.
