The definition of rape is badly established between both parties

Well, you had me right up to this point. But the "how was I supposed to know?" shit is consistently said by the worst creeps.

You just reaffirmed what they said.

There are rapists that don’t think it’s rape.

It is indeed, your point?

My reply was to answer the question asked, not to take a moral stance.

The pawblem is that it's not just the worst creeps though. There are plenty of men, and even some women, who will say it's not rape if:

  • She didn't say no
  • She's a sex worker
  • They're married
  • He stealths (even if they agree that's wrong, calling it rape seems to be "taking it too far" for many)

There are plenty more examples I can think of but these are the most common in my opinion. Maybe you can make the argument that people that don't see these as rape are also the "worst creeps". However, it still follows OC's point that the definition isn't universal in a way where less men will know a rapist then women.
