As Instapundit points out here.

SO IF A MAN GETS DRUNK AND SLEEPS WITH A WOMAN HE WOULDN’T HAVE SLEPT WITH SOBER, it’s humorous grist for jokes about “beer goggles” and “coyote ugly.” But if a woman does the same thing, woe unto anyone who suggests it wasn’t “date rape.”

I think this nicely illustrates the problem with the definition of rape that feminists like yourself are pushing.

I think you could have made this point without linking to Instapundit. If you don't want this thread to get totally mindkilled, perhaps it's better to leave out links to people who elicit highly polarized reactions from different political tribes.

I find it rude to quote people without linking to them.

I meant that quoting him was unnecessary; the idea is almost certainly not original to him anyway, so you could restate it in your own words.
