re: Is "legitimate rape" placed in quotes and considered offensive because women

There is no debate about legitimate rape. Its a nonsensical term.

Since innocent men have been accused of rape and the facts later showed it wasn't rape, the term, "illegitimate rape" is used to refer to those examples where a man is accused of raping a woman but the facts prove he didn't rape her.

The term, "legitimate rape" refers to those examples where a man is accused of raping a woman and the facts prove he did rape her.

Using the term, "illegitimate rape" is just another way of saying the woman wasn't raped.

Likewise, using the term, "legitimate rape" is just another way of saying the woman was raped.

No one should get offended by the use of these two terms and everyone should understand why these two terms are now being used.
