It's clearly a heated and controversial topic. She said get a condom, which to me is consent. Had she continued to protest and say no repeatedly, then it would not have been consent. Had she physically pushed him off of her, saying no, then it would not have been consent. She said she went along with it. That's consent. Maybe she had her arm twisted by his advances and felt weakened by the alcohol consumption, but it was still consent. A rape victim does NOT say get a condom. A rape victim screams and physically fights off the perpetrator the entire time.

I'm an avid feminist and will support any woman who is a victim of sexual assault, when it is in fact sexual assault. But in this case, I disagree and do not think it was.
