That is not rape, and if she was claiming it was, she'd be making a false allegation of rape, which would be very serious.

The main problem is that it wasn't all that long ago that a woman couldn't attend a conference, agree to stay at an Airbnb with an unrelated man to whom she wasn't married, etc.

We are in a lot of new territory and still trying to sort out a lot of questions that simply didn't come up a generation or two back.

These questions are all too often being sorted out the hard way: By having things go wrong and having people who are upset about what happened air their grievances because they don't know what else to do to try to sort their lives and get everything back on track.
