While the number of cases may be small, there are still cases of legitimately false rape charges, and based on the evidence of this one, I'd put this under the same umbrella. Guys can be totally not creepy and still get hit with a false rape charge. Those are the cases I'm focusing on, not the much larger number of legitimate rape charges. Because IMO, if even one persons life is completely ruined by a false rape charge (which there are several cases) that's one person too many.
The "victim" in this case, very clearly initiated the encounter, so she didn't object. I can't speak to exactly what happened in the room, but everything up to the point she got him to her room suggested she was the initiator, made a decision to take this guy to her dorm and boink him, and wanted it to happen. Her inability to remember her actions the next day, if that's even to be believed, does not absolve her of the decisions she made quite coherently based on the evidence the night before.
A person should not be able to initiate sexual activity, or very clearly invite it, go through with the act and then make a claim of not remembering clearly and slap a rape charge against the other person. You regretting a bad decision to have drunken sex does not mean you were raped. That said, I'm aware that there can be a very thin line between drunken consensual sex and drunken rape.
I can assure you that dental work usually requires consent forms.
Consent issues have given rise to "consent apps" for smart phones, but I doubt that such apps actually confer any real legal protection. Why not? Because the crux of the matter is state of mind and the ability to meaningfully consent.

No, that is literally your logic. You stated that rape occurs more than false accusations of rape, so we should all believe her, and accuse him of being a rapist. You have been accused, so by YOUR logic, we all get to call you a rapist.
Once again, that is what you have been saying the entire time.
