See, I don't know -- I guess I've never had a guy friend who disrespected me enough not to stop when I said no. If it's true that any guy out there is a potential date rapist, why should women be friends with men at all? We're friends with guys because we trust you not to pull shit like this. Obviously sometimes we guess wrong and place our trust where it shouldn't be put. Again, that's not the woman's fault. Bad judgment is not illegal. Raping someone is.
While I definitely feel for those who have had false allegations of rape thrown at them, the facts show that rape is far, far (possibly hundreds of times) more common than false allegations of rape, and that the vast majority of the time the allegations are true. That doesn't mean that we should immediately leap to the conclusion that the girl is always right, but it does mean that, in general, the girl's argument sounds pretty reasonable to me (unless she starts contradicting herself, etc., which hasn't happened in this letter).
I don't think that anybody in here is saying that the girl in the Dear Abby letter was absolutely one hundred percent positively raped. We were just saying that if the facts as presented in the letter were true, then she was raped. It would be up to the court to decide what actually happened.
