My point is exactly as you have deduced.

Rape must NEVER be confused with sex.

Rape is nothing to do with sex it is a violent assault.

If people think that girls who dress provocatively are in some way to blame for being raped it is the same as saying that girls who dress provocatively are asking to have their faces slashed with a knife.

Assault is wrong whatever the weapon used.

Confusing rape with sex is enabling rapists to walk free from court because juries don't seem to be able to see rape as a violent assault whereas if the victim had been stabbed or beaten up they would have convicted for assault.

This is IMO really the moot point of why rapists walk free.
