5 and 6 are wordly vaguely enough to pass. As Horus said, circumstances matter. Random black-out drunk girl whom you've never met prior? Yeah, rape. Casual FWB partners who fuck one night and kinda wishes they didn't? Regretful...but not rape.
This is absolutely correct. Which is also why 5 of the 7 instances listed by this article are unequivocally insulting to someone who was actually raped.
Someone close to me - a female - was truly, factually raped/molested when young and when I show her articles like this, you can see the bewilderment and frustrated anger in her face. To quote her, "If everything is rape, nothing is."
Self-enlightened people like the author don't understand the tack they take with this view is akin to telling a malnourished child from Sudan, "I knooooowwww exactly how you must feel being hungry and starving. I haven't eaten since breakfast!"
Sad.

It saddens me that, even in 2016, some people think that their thoughts on what qualifies as rape are more important than the actual experiences of real women who have been assaulted.
