Several studies have looked into the men who have sex with women who did not consent, and found that many of those men do it repeatedly. In other words, there is no miscommunication or mistake: they are predators looking for opportunities to rape women. Sometimes the woman is drunk and sometimes she is not.

Women who were raped while drunk or while on a date often feel a lot of shame. They blame themselves. We need to be much more upfront about what is really going on. If more women came forward about this kind of crime, we could stop these serial rapists.

As it stands now, a woman takes too big a risk to come forward at all. Look at the recent case of the woman who was scared to take a taxi so asked an on-duty cop for help, and he was caught raping her anally while she was unconscious - but was acquitted because she couldn't prove she didn't consent. It's open season on women.
