How things evolved:

First there was “rape”.
Then there was “rape rape”.
Now we have “honest rape”.

What terminology will they think of next?

The way this is going, the PC police will call it “Permission Challenged Intercourse”

It is not the fault of Congressman Paul (nor even of Ms. Goldberg) that our society has expanded the application of the word "rape" from the heinous crime it originally described to include consensual sexual intercourse when one party is deemed by virtue of a legal convention, or in some cases a legal fiction, to have been 'incapable of giving consent', or in the feverswamps of the academic left to seemingly include sexual intercourse the woman later comes to regret, or by the most lunatic of feminists to include all heterosexual intercourse.

(Incidentally, Ms. Goldberg was wrong: Polanski's actions not only satisfied the definition of rape on the basis of his victim's age, but on the basis of the classical definition, since she said "no" until he plied her with quaaludes until she said neither yes nor no, and thus was "rape rape" to use her way of distinguishing the traditionally understood heinous crime from its expanded redefinition.)

“forcible” rape, maybe? (full circle)
