Rape: Difference between revisions

It is commonly assumed that even mild forms of rape are some of the worst crimes of all, comparable with murder. While it is unquestionable that ''rape-rape'' is bad, and nearly all incels in fact prefer consensual and loving relationships (even though that may be [[love|naive]]; but that's a different issue), the trauma caused by rape has likely been overstated by feminist. No doubt, potential infections, physical trauma or even death should be classified as crimes with appropriate severity (i.e. assault and murder respectively), but these are not the typical outcomes of rape. The most common outcome is that the victim shows neither physical nor psychological harm in the long term.<ref>https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0272735818300539</ref><ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17405629.2016.1150174</ref><ref>https://www.ipce.info/library_3/rbt/metaana.pdf</ref><ref>http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp-content/uploads/A-replication-of-the-meta-analytic-examination-of-child-sexual-abuse-by-Rind-Tromovitch-and-Bauserman.pdf</ref> The severity with which rape crime is penalized is thus often disproportional to the actual harm inflicted on the victim, and largely just a moral panic. The moral panic about rape, also called "rape hysteria", puts an unnecessary burden on the mental development of young men and overall leads to a less functional society.
