What the fuck am I reading. Are you seriously implying that "she was asking for it" is a legitimate argument against rape allegations? If a woman says no or is not able to consent (in California, at least, drunk people are legally incapable of consenting) then it is rape. Especially if she says no, REGARDLESS of how she was acting earlier.
It's a shame when people take advantage and cheapen the seriousness of rape allegations, but saying that it's not rape when a woman was "giving signals" earlier is just absurd.
If I seriously believed he raped her, I'd be all for whatever punishment the system can dole out. I don't.
That's fine, but saying "It's not rape if she was giving 'come fuck me signals'" is an ignorant thing to say and can be easily read as a generalization of rape allegations, and really shouldn't even be joked about imo even if you think this girl is lying. Rape should never be blamed on the victim. No one deserves to be violated in that way. I would rather be murdered than raped and have to live with the mental scarring, much less a stigma of being some kind of slut who was asking for it. "No" is "no" and it doesn't matter what it seemed like she wanted earlier.
