Old ≠ Outdated.
Feminist legal scholars have done much since the 1970's to shape the legal definitions in use today. This includes not just moving beyond the violence paradigm, but also beyond outdated penile penetration requirements, and even marital exclusions. The way you define rape affects its prevalence, and the "rape is violent" stereotype has allowed rape to hide safely within "normal" dating relationships and marriages.
Until you demonstrate that this "35 year old article" is obsolete the moderators have no business calling anything they like "rape apologetics."
