147. yes, how does that mean it isn't rape?
Just because there isn't force/coercion involved doesn't mean it isn't rape.

In fact, there are separate statutes for rape by force, and rape by having sex with a person incapable by intoxication (or other means) of giving consent.

That's the whole point, all sex with drunk women who can't consent is rape, but not all such rape is due to coercion or force. In fact, unless the male caused the woman to become intoxicated/drugged, force is not an element of the crime the government has to prove.
