Provide more substance in your argument before I continue. Because right now, you're providing no sense of argument.

We're arguing?

I would assume with your standoffish attitude and reluctance to provide any statement stating your side of the argument, yes I would say this was up for debate given your continued attempts to get me to speak more about my side.

I guess I can debate you if you want me to.

Not necessary if that wasn't your intention. But a simple "nice" to both statements I provided gives literally no indication to whether you agree or disagree. Try using words more often.

Why didn't I get a "nice"?

Because nothing from New Jersey is "nice".

Gray area as ****. What if they're asleep? What if they're too scared, intimidated, or overwhelmed to say anything? There are a lot of cases where someone is unable to say no.

and let it happen,

Men are typically much stronger than women. "Letting it happen" when someone doesn't want it to happen doesn't mean that it's consensual.

especially if you have the power to say no and get away,

Really depends on how you define that.

Quote:

you aren't allowed to play the victim card.

This was the main thing I commented on earlier. This is just gross and derisive language for a very serious situation.

Here's a guideline for determining rape
1: Did two or more people have sex?
2: Did everyone involved want to have sex?
3: If you answered yes to both questions, then it was not rape. If you answered yes to number one and no to number two, it is rape. Imo it's foolproof.
