She had kissed him on a separate occasion, not on that night. And they hadn't even gotten in the shower yet. As soon as she got in the bathroom he ripped her clothes off and raped and beat her.
But even if they were in the shower making out, if a person begins resisting and says "no" and "stop", the lines are no longer blurred. At that point it becomes rape and that is very clear. Again, a drunk person acting like an idiot is one thing. Raping someone is another.
If this is actually the way events unfolded, I'll rethink my position.
Yes, this is all assuming the rape actually happened. I understand there is a possibility that it didn't and that is up for the courts to decide. But if a rape happened, then the fact is the rapist is solely to blame for the rape... even if she made some stupid reckless decisions that got her in that situation.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
