This is how the accidental rapes usually start.

Whether rape happens on U.S. college campuses at rates similar to elsewhere in America or to rates in Tanzania and South Africa has been a major subject of dispute recently. Folks from President Obama to swearing 5-year-olds princesses have been citing a statistic that 20 percent of women on college campuses, or one in five, will be sexually assaulted while there—a stat that has also been routinely debunked. However, a new sexual assault survey from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)—one of the first schools to release broad data on campus sex crimes—seems to corroborate everyone's favorite sketchy stat.
Or does it? Media are reporting that one in six female undergraduates at MIT have been sexually assaulted (with this translating in some headlines and social media shares to "one in six have been raped"). But the MIT survey suffers from the same issues that plague previous studies on campus sexual assault.
First, the survey's methodology: In April, MIT emailed its sexual assault survey to all 10,831 undergraduates and graduate students. Students could then opt to take the survey or not. Ultimately, 35 percent of MIT students did. But whenever you have an opt-in survey, those who self-select to take it are not necessarily representative of a given population. Or, as MIT researchers put it, "response bias is expected in virtually any voluntary survey, particularly one focused on a narrow topic. ... the rates based on those who responded to the survey cannot be extrapolated to the MIT student population as a whole."

yeah, because it’s not rape, rape.
Well....you don’t expect them to imagine responsibility do you?
Especially in a world without consequences....

This is how the accidental rapes usually start.
Legitimate rapes cannot be by accident.
Young men ages 13-35 are hard wired to procreate with women they find attractive. This biological reality is very politically incorrect but true nevertheless.
My young wife accidentally raped me repeatedly after college. I forgive her, perhaps she didn’t know better.
LOL! We’re talking “MIT students” here. Half of them of probably never even had sex while the other half has had sex but only with themselves. Of course they’re going to think like this.
Although the desire to procreate, as you put it, is “hard wired”, raping a woman simply because you want to have sex is not only abhorrent, it is also criminal. Condoning thus behavior under the guise of “sowing wild oats” is contributing to sexual crimes against women.
I have concluded in my short time on earth that I.Q. and survival skill are inversely proportional.

This is the men answering based on their required “womens studies” class lectures ,, it’s rape even if the woman initiates the encounter if you don’t have permission in writing.
This is why everyone should have a lawyer in a jar right next to the bed.
So they only talked to the women?
More of the liberal war on men.
Perhaps lefties would be in favor of the federal government regulating campus sexual relations by re-introducing chastity belts that could only be opened by security codes held by the owner and government bureaucrats.
I partake of emergency fishing trips on a regular basis. But an accident rape? Hmmmm!
Absolutely.
But do avoid the subject if you are running for the Senate or other high office.
Many of us have heard activists and the media (yes, I know - repetitive) use the word "rape" when it had nothing to do with sexual penetration. Actual rape is about power, not sexual satisfaction, which is only a by-product of the act, as in the phrase, "He was raped by the IRS."
