No of course I don't assert that. The radicals who are pushing so hard on this issue are conflating and defining rape in ever more expansive ways. In the survey that produced the often cite 1 in 5 stat, the definition of rape was expanded to include any sexual contact that took place after drinking. Obviously there is a huge variation between incapacitated/passed out, which is inarugably rape, and having a drink and then having sex. The hookup culture is fueled by binge drinking men and women. And so we have a lot more sexual encounters that are ambiguous and impossible to adjudicate because one or both parties doesn't remember the events with clarity. Add to that the double standard and the stereotypes of both genders and we have a total mess where it's impossible to behave fairly to both parties when an allegation is made.
