Slate equates nuancing the rape discussion with defending rape. Thanks for promoting rational discourse...

Let's stop linking to articles about "nice guy" rape. The man was an idiot. I don't care if she was flirting with him: the first time to have sex with someone is not when they're asleep/passed out.

Both articles tout a very old, repeatedly disproven rape myth, which is that rapists rape because they're confused about whether they have consent. Research shows that rapists actually do know what they're doing and target drunk victims in part because they know victims will not be believed if they report.

So why exactly do we need to teach boys about consent?
