Recommending removing the entry in YMMV regarding whether Tina or Bette raped the other. Watching the scene, Bette is the aggressor. She approaches Tina, begins kissing her, and pushes her towards the bed despite Tina's protest, which is VERY verbal.

Eventually submitting and participating in the sexual contact does not make it consensual, and whether Tina was guiding Bette's hand or resisting does not make Tina a rapist or a consenting participant.

I think the Double Standard trope is played straight as it is textbook rape on Bette's end, and the YMMV entry is just proof that the trope is appropriately applied.
