Big3, nice reply. Doesn't debunk, provide support against or really comment on any of the points I brought up. In other words :

I tread dangerous waters? What are you on about? If you use violence to subdue someone and forcefully have sex with them, that is a different behaviour from sneaky ****ing someone who's so drunk they've basically passed out. It seems logical to assume that some might be likely to do the latter, but not the first, so when talking about these behaviours and the people who do them, it should make sense to differentiate between different kinds/define what we mean by rape in the context we apply it to.

Don't wanna sound smarmy, but I have a degree in biology so that should count for a little at least. If you are a cobbler and act more knowledgable than me in a thread about shoes, should I complain about it? Also, be careful that you don't mix the scientific terms hypothesis and theory. There's a theory of gravity, but that doesn't mean people in general speculate on whether or not a rock will fall to to the ground if they pick it up and drop it.

When something is not certain (aside from the general uncertainness we have about anything) - or if my knowledge is lacking - then I try to mention that in my posts.
