OK Ari, not inherently offensive, just plain ole' offensive.

Date rape is not a legal term, but you are correct that it is used to
discriminate between rape that occurs under different circumstances and rape
that occurs when you are on a date.  There isn't, however, the same
circumstantial notation for other crimes against a person.  Ever heard of
date robbery?

Forcible rape is, I think, a legal term, but just because legalese is peculiar
doesn't mean it is right.  Ever hear of forcible robbery?  Forcible rape is
a redundant term, not a descriptive one.
