@RiotLinguistics @boundsocket Very good points. The negligent, 'accidental' type of rape wouldn't even be possible if the victims had enough power to make their objections known-- many don't even have the power to recognize their own discomfort as valid or see their own bodily autonomy as anything they have the right to defend in the first place. To rape somebody and not only get away with it but get away with having NO CLUE they did anything wrong means the power imbalance is so pervasive and huge it's entirely taken for granted. Rapists rarely need to use physical beatdowns when cultural ones already did most of the work.
