I'm not saying it's a good metaphor, dude, but I don't think she's confused about what the word means. It's obviously intentional hyperbole meant to reinforce a point about empathy and shared conditions.
If this is what passes for effective hyperbole now, I don't want any part of it. One problem is that some strains of feminism have gotten so overblown in their characterizations that it's become difficult to tell if someone is serious or not when it comes to words like rape. I thought the video was pretentious, self-absorbed and ultimately meaningless. Worse than meaningless, since it trivializes a word that should be reserved for a truly depraved act.

Once upon a time, the Playboy Unabashed Dictionary defined rape as "an unnegotiated piece."
