You've totally missed the point. If during a drunken night at the bar and your best friend punches you in the face, does it matter that you were friends? And does it matter that you were being a jerk and deserved a punch in the face? Does it matter that you crashed at his house after sharing a cab home? I get that sexual encounters are different but that is exactly why the deck is stacked.
