I'm beginning to wonder if we'll have to develop new dating norms (neo-Victorianism?) in order to cope with this problem.
I don't think the law will help much because presumption of innocence gives rapists too much leeway ("he said, she said") and presumption of guilt invites false accusations, both of which are huge political problems.
Or we could accelerate current social trends and develop a formal caste system, whereby a female's word is always accepted prima facie against males ("he admitted to being on the grassy knoll"), and where male testimony is not admissible in court cases involving females.
