I took some quotes from your previous post as it seems to fit very well, too:
-How many times have I turned down sex with someone who is clearly not in the state of mind to make a rational decision (drunk, emotionally wounded)? Fairly frequently back in my single days. Even when said female was in bed with me. It is called exercising good judgment.
You used good judgement? It is rape when sexual activity has occurred and she thinks she has been raped. Good judgement has nothing to do with it. So after your definition you could have raped someone.
-Fear of this reflects one of two potential mindsets. Either you think women are inherently irrational or evil and will just accuse lots of men of rape.
# A survey of all the forcible rape complaints during a three-year period at two large Midwestern state universities found that 50 percent of the accusations were false.
# In a nine-year study of all resolved rape cases in a Midwestern U.S. city of 70,000, the accusers recanted their charges 41 percent of the time. The 41 percent figure does not include the other accusations that the police department recorded as unfounded, for which there was insufficient evidence to establish the assault.
# According to a report of the Defense Department Inspector General released in 2005, approximately 73% of women and 72% of men at the military service academies believe that false accusations of sexual assault are a problem.

-Don’t really see a need to. The power balance that exists right now strongly favor men, who commit pretty much all the sexual assualts. Anyone who argues that men need more sexual protection is self-delusional.
You could argue if women need more sexual protection as well. According to ( http://www.ojp.gov/bjs/glance/rape.htm ) the Bureau of Justice statistics the latest number (2005) on attempted and completed rapes found out that there are 0,5 victims per 1.000 (including male and female) so why the need to say every sex act is potential rape?
If you ask man about not wanted sexual contacts you may be surprised how often this happens 2 studies found out:
Two studies examined the prevalence and emotional impact of men’s nonconsensual sexual interactions with women. The first study included a sample of 247 heterosexual men with a mean age of 18.3 years. The second study was a replication with a sample of 153 heterosexual men with a mean age of 22.3 years. All respondents completed a measure of nonconsensual sexual interactions including the use of three aggressive strategies (physical force, exploitation of the man’s incapacitated state, and verbal pressure) and three forms of unwanted sexual contact (kissing/petting, sexual intercourse, and oral sex). In addition, the relationship to the female initiator was explored. For each type of nonconsensual sexual interaction, respondents indicated the affective impact of the experience. In Study 1, 25.1% of respondents reported at least one incident of nonconsensual sex with a woman and 23.9% reported attempts by women to make them engage in nonconsensual sexual activity. In Study 2, the overall prevalence rate for completed nonconsensual sexual interactions was 30.1%, and 23.5% of the men reported attempts at making them engage in nonconsensual sex. In both samples, exploiting the man’s inability to offer resistance was the most frequently reported aggressive strategy. Kissing/petting was the most frequently reported unwanted sexual activity, followed by sexual intercourse and oral sex. Prevalence rates were higher for nonconsensual sex with an (ex-)partner or friend than for nonconsensual sex with an unknown women. Ratings of affective impact revealed that men rated their nonconsensual experiences as moderately upsetting. The findings are discussed in the light of previous studies on men’s unwanted sexual experiences and the extant literature on women’s nonconsensual sexual interactions with men.

So why the sexism? Hooray for equality!
