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.

“I’ve taught police officers, and worked with police officers on every continent in the world, and that’s something I’ve never heard in my 50 years in law enforcement,” says Dr. James A. Williams, former Chief of Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces for the U.S Department of Justice, who also worked in municipal law enforcement in New Jersey. “I’ve never heard of that. Never.”
Richard Lichten, a veteran of the LA County Sheriff’s Department and expert on sexual assault investigations agrees:
“I have 30 years of experience, I’m qualified to testify in federal court on the way to investigate sexual assault crimes, and I’ve never heard of that,” said Lichten. “In all my life I’ve never heard of that.”

The fact that the word "rape" is used at all infers that rape occurred. The use of "illegitimate" is not only needlessly tedious, it's moronic. It's either rape or it's not. The end. Period. Adding such bizarre qualifiers does nothing but obfuscate.

No, in the real world that's just called "rape". What you are advocating is like calling your car your "automobile car".

No, it's a polite way of saying "she's a lying bitch" without having to offend said lying bitch.

I am quite offended because your attempt at word play still clumsily ties "rape" to someone innocent of the crime and you expect people not to understand that.
So your desire for approval of "illegitimate rape" as a means of describing someone falsely accused is found to be... wait for it... illegitimate.
