I agree that if Pat previously (and very recently - like, immediately before the sex and while Pat was sober) told Kris "I would love it if you had sex with me while I'm unconscious" it would be okay, because I think that qualifies as consent.
Looking back, I over-simplified my relationship with the law. I live in England myself, and I'm not sure about how legal discussion of female-on-male rape works exactly. The law is very specific about "penetration of the victim", so I'm almost certain that women can be convicted for rape if they penetrate another person with a "penis-like object" (a dildo, fingers, whatever). But if a women forces a man to penetrate her, I believe this would be considered sexual and not rape assault in the eyes of the law. I completely agree with you that this is bullshit and sexist.
Is this rape?
