I think you'll find it's usually men who make reckless decisions when it comes to sex. It's men who drag non-consenting women into nightclub cleaners cupboards to dip their wicks. It's men who will pay hundreds to a "Belle Du Jour" for a couple of hours of sexual gratification. It's men who will endanger their jobs, marriages, and liberty to view child abuse images. Women do not make that kind of "bad decision".From the female perspective, there's "bad decisions" like not using a condom, and then there's handing yourself over a gang of 12 men who may not have your best interests at heart. The latter goes so far beyond "bad decisions" as to be unthinkable for a woman outside of carefully planned and safeguarded situations.
It's this kind of commentary that makes many people very wary of improving or hanging laws and procedures around rape. It really is not that unknown for people to make "unthinkable" decisions, and if you can't imagine that kind of scenario that's really about you. There are all kinds of reasons people will make decisions like that, often they are self-destructive, or they don't really understand what they are getting themselves into, or for some reason they have come to expect that sort of treatment.
You cannot make a decision, a legal ruling, about a particular instance, that it will follow the pattern you expect, based on claims that no one would do something so stupid. As a civilian you can say, I think that seems an unlikely thing for someone to do, but we should all be glad that the law is not supposed to work that way.
This case seems to me like it's been mishandled, but that discussion is undermined by these kinds of claims that we should go back to the days of making legal judgements based on what seems most likely and who seems most believable, and what we personally can imagine people doing. People will inevitably push back against that sort of approach because they know what it leads to.
