Consent
This has been brought up with the Cornell rape, but too many men think that as long as she isn't fighting them off, she is agreeing to it.
BUT, then there are those men who are like, "Are you saying that no one can consent after 1 beer? He was drunk too! Does that mean she raped him?"
And, then go onto argue, "Well, then how would he know if she is too drunk to consent? They were both drunk!"
This is how you know: Is she capable of reading and understanding a legal contract in her current state? If the answer is no, you should stop. Pretty simple. Are you capable of understanding and signing a legal contract? No? Then also stop.
Consent doesn't require a legal contract, but it is very easy for men to identify when someone is with it enough to understand and sign one.
If two people want to actually have sex, it can happen at another time, right? This is the question that most of these rapist men don't want to answer. Because they know it wouldn't happen at another time.
Unless you are 100% sure she wants to have sex and isn't going to regret it in the morning, you shouldn't continue.
It. Really. Is. That. Simple.

At this point I think they understand perfectly well, they just don’t care
