Ted Ts did NOT called any victim liar. He said that 73% of people included as victims in survey did said that they don't consider themselves victims hence he did not called him liars (you may call Ted Ts liar if figure is incorrect or you may call the victims liars if you say they were victims). He did said that alcohol-related intercourse are difficult case, and, if I read correctly, it wasn't that rape was impossible but that the situation is be symmetric as both parties have symmetric impaired judgement. He was against 'pornography' on conferences. Mixing them with people who said "pregnancies from rape as “a gift from God.”", “some girls rape easy,” or “legitimate rape” (as Ada Initiative did) is IMHO largely out of place.

That said after reading from comments the question 8 strongly implies to me that those were indeed victims. I am not quite sure about all of the meaningfullness of statistics he operate on (1 in 6 or 1 in 10 - what is the difference - in any case it is WAY too large. I'd consider 1 in 100 a large issue). I'd imagine that rape from someone known may be more dramatic then from stranger etc.
