It almost seems like the word ‘rape’ is under attack. Like if you fight over the actual meaning and say the whole issues is so muddled the word becomes an eye-roller type word.

“Rape” is an emotionally charged word. The legal definition is simply “sex without consent”.

Whether consent is not given because of force or, threats, or because the victim is too young or too inebriated to be in a position to grant consent, is irrelevant to the charge itself.
