That's clear to all of us. And I agree, it's a really, really bad move and as a mother I would not only never even consider it, I would physically prevent a friend or relative from doing if necessary.
My concerns are:
1) far or not, the crucial step that removes it from rape is that rape actually violates someone's consent. as a society and legal system, I would like us to keep our eyes on the prize, as it were and consistently criminalize violations of sexual consent.
2) As qwrrty has already said, responding about the mom in response to this particular post has the rhetorical effect of excusing Polanksi and his jackhole friends by changing the conversation about who the REAL problem is
