It was mostly acceptable for straight men to rape women back then too. I don't think it's about the orientation either then or now, it's about the rights of the other person.

Bullshit. If it were acceptable it wouldn't have been used as a terrorist tactic and punishment against foes. It was surely more common but it wasn't "acceptable."
