An explicit "no" means there is no consent given. To force sexual intercourse after a woman has said no is rape.
Agreed, that NEVER was the issue.
Simple. As for the rest of your poor-abused-men whinefest, young men are not branded for life for screwing a drunk cheerleader unless the drunk cheerleader was screaming "NO" at the top of her lungs and fighting tooth and nail.
Yes they are, every single day.
Remember the Duke Lacrosse charges?
How about this one?
{BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Three lacrosse players for a Catholic university in New England have been charged with conspiring to sexually assault a female student in a dorm room.}

These boys were lucky, they were high enough profile that they got sprung before the lynching was complete. Most men aren't that lucky, they get lynched and the facts are never considered.
However, if the drunk cheerleader was saying nothing because she was unconscious, then she was clearly unable to give consent and if her limp body is then violated, it is rape. Simple.
And if she is slurring "iiii luvzzz yuuuu toooz babby" then let's lynch him. He is guilty by merit of his gender.
Right. Every day we hear about some poor man being lynched until he is dead because he glanced at a female. Every damned day. Oh, the inhumanity of it all.
No, we hear about him being put in prison and then into a "sexual predator database" for the rest of his life, published on the internet, to keep him from having a home or decent job, ever.
You don't have a son that you care about, obviously. But if you do, better tell him that if his girlfriend gets mad at him, he'll have less rights than a mass murderer. His gender is his crime, his guilt is being male. There is no defense, he has zero rights.
Date rape is NOT a grey area.
Really? Good to know that no teen girl or young woman ever was capricious or vindictive...
{Come on baby, I really love you.
I don't know, I don't think we should.
If you love me you will
We should wait
Come on baby, I have needs
We can fool around but if I say stop
I'll respect you
okay..}
It's about as grey as anything gets. We live in a society where men are treated as subhuman, with no rights, but it IS grey. Conversations like the one above go one every day.
In your world, he goes to prison as a rapist and is tagged with a scarlet letter for life.
Buying a woman dinner is not a license to force yourself on her if she says "no."
That's right, but then force has nothing to do with this.
You do not seem to understand that. No means no.
Straw man argument.
If you have sex with her anyway, you have raped her. That is REAL rape and you would be a REAL rapist.
Your straw man is boring. I said long ago that force and coercion are assault. You are arguing against your own suppositions, not against my arguments.
Now I know you're feeling very pouty and sorry for yourself, but frankly if you are as obtuse as you appear to be, you really are a complete moron.
At what age do you believe that castration should be compulsory?
