How to Find a Rape Apologist in Three Easy Steps

Once upon a time...
1) Talk about Greek mythology
2) Mention Zeus raping women (other deities will work, but Zeus has the most cases)
3) The person who responds with "well, rape also had the meaning of 'being forcefully carried away'" is your apologist, especially when the myth is explicit on the sex part
--They may, alternatively, demand proof of it. In any case, they will in not admit the woman was actually raped and will usually accuse you of being a feminist.

what you brought up is an example of something which i—pertaining to those would-be apologists—deem, is "not up for debate."
we can gauge their own feelings on what it's like to be raped, in that case: if they were to randomly find themselves "being forcefully carried away" some time.
if they'd, then, continue invalidating others' experiences / justifying immorality.
