You're absolutely right. I have zero tolerance when it comes to cultural acceptance, denial, or apologizing for rape.

We all know what the title is referencing, and it's implying that there are circumstances when "no means no" isn't true. The content of the article may be unrelated, but the title is still problematic.




The title is not problematic because he's describing a false negative. Context matters, you can't call "rape" every time someone puts these three words together because they are normal words that can be used to describe non-rape concepts. If your comment dealt with anything but a refusal to engage the words on their own terms I might be a bit more supportive of your stance here, but there simply isn't any "there" there.


This post is basically the same thing as complaining about the existence of hot dogs. We all know they're just a device to institutionalize the act of fellatio.
