It's not a straw-man argument at all. In fact, it's not even an argument. It's simply a question. Is her lack of physically fighting back what prevents you from considering the situation rape?

I get that the Swathmore case is difficult because of the relationship the two had previously had; I know lines aren't always so clearly drawn in the sand. But, in my opinion, when a woman says no and a man has sex with her anyway, that's rape whether the woman physically fought back or not.
