Stupid ideas about rape I don't believe

-Once a man is sexually aroused, he's not responsible for his own actions.
-Once a man is sexually aroused, sex is inevitable and something he can't control.
-If a woman goes on a date with a man/gets drunk with a man/goes to a man's apartment/flirts with a man/kisses a man, she has consented to sex with him and may not revoke her consent.
-Consenting to one sexual act is automatic consent for any further or other sexual acts. (i.e., consent to oral sex = consent to vaginal sex.)
-Women falsely accuse men of rape all the time, and all men are terrified of being falsely accused. All conversations about rape must revolve around this, a much bigger problem than the problem of actual rape.
-There is no way for a man to protect himself against accidentally raping a woman whom he thought consented but actually didn't. Verbally asking if a woman wants to have sex with him is impossible.
It has been alleged that most men believe one or more of these. I hope not.
