As far as I'm concerned, if a woman goes out with a guy, drinks with a guy, and goes back to his place, she has implied consent the whole time... That's not the state of the law, nor do I think it should be...you're describing a cultural standard. In a lot of Hispanic communities, getting in a car with guys is implied consent.
What both have in common? While I think both are unwise, neither are consent.
The situation you described sounds like a one-night stand. I believe consent in that case has to be very clear.

Quite frankly, the law is whatever the best lawyer convinces the jury that it is. That is why it is best to make the law as black and white as possible. The more grey area there is, the more room there is to send innocent men to jail. I am aware of how the law has been treating these situations, and I strongly disagree with it. That is my point.
