Those "we were drunk" and "Well she did not resist" are lame excuses to say the
least.
It is still Rape, and Rape is a violent crime. Horrible misunderstanding does
not even apply in these cases.
Period, end of story.

"Considered violent" and "Is violent" are two different things.
For example, I give you a situation that happened to a friend of mine:
Met a girl at a college party, both were very drunk. Took her back
to his room, they ended up having sex. She appeared to be reacting
consensually to him, she showed some hesitation, but then appeared to
be reacting appropriately. She spent the night and left the next
morning, without any ill will.
he was thrown out of school for "rape", because apparently her
hesitation (which she appeared to get over quickly) was a "no".
there was a well publicized case in California where a 17 year old boy
was convicted of rape because the girl said "I want to go home" during
the act. She never fought, never said no, never pushed him away -
just in the middle of the act said "I want to go home".
These rapes aren't violent and shouldn't be treated as such. They are
horrible misunderstandings between people who need to communicate
before screwing around, but those men did not committ violent crimes.
