Modern women are not engaged in a war against sexism. They are fighting to the death against their sworn enemy:
Aesop.
The modern day hamster is in a sweaty death match against a nebulous foe:
The idea that your actions have consequences.
Which is the whole point of most fables, and which has perforce (trying to use elevated language here) earned Aesop their undying enmity.
It is their sworn quest, through action and word, to prove to themselves that every fable by Aesop is deeply flawed, hence problematic, hence inapplicable to their lives.
So, is rape a strictly defined legal term, under which certain conditions must be met? No. Rape is whatever you want, whenever you want it to be, hence disproving this hoary old chestnut:

Should you marry a good man when you are young, be loyal to him and to your family, and work hard to be a good wife?
No. Boring. Slut it up. Worry about the future later. It will work out. It always has. That, if nonspiritual people aren't aware of it, is your agreement with the universe.
Thusly, another tired old saw, written by a DWM (Dead White Male) bites the deserving dust:

And so, should you actually find a good man who wants to marry you, and should he be wise and loving and kind, and generous and forgiving, what should your response be? Should you be grateful and supportive and loyal?
No, no, a million times no. Antiquated patriarchal thinking. The best possible thing to do is to pick him to pieces. Take everything positive about him absolutely and completely for granted, and then analyze his every move, searching vigilantly for flaws and failings, and bring each little thing to his attention immediately. For his own good. Analyze him to bits.
And you will prove idiotica like the following has no power over you:

Anyway, you get the idea. There are more fables than you can count.
“The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of its parents.”
