177. I would suggest the history of this case suggests nothing resembling "rape" occurred here.

That doesn't excuse demonizing the women involved, to the extent anyone is doing that. But breezing past the labyrinthine history of the alleged facts, combined with this brand-new, inescapabably unconventional "sex with a sleeping person" charge, to characterize this matter as a rape case, or to suggest that those critical of the charges are simply engaging in classic misogyny and victim-blaming, is likewise inexcusable.
