Prudery and Felony

I was just adding this footnote to my harrowing tale of the difference between rape and “rape” when I realized something….

*I think there needs to be a new legal designation that divides violent rapes from drunken grey-area cases. Sure, there are assholes who manipulate drunk women (and men). Maybe there should be some punishment for that, although it certainly puts a damper on what used to be the fun of drunken youthful romping. But should they be given the same legal stigma as someone who chooses you at random, breaks into your home and threatens your life?
