Rape: Difference between revisions

Feminists commonly assume that even mild forms of rape are some of the worst crimes of all, comparable to murder. While '''it is unquestionable that rape-rape is bad''', and nearly all incels in fact prefer consensual and loving relationships, the trauma caused by rape has likely been overstated by feminists. No doubt, physical or psychological trauma, infection, or even death should be classified as crimes with appropriate severity (i.e. assault and murder, respectively), but these do not represent the majority of 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 is socially ostracized is thus likely disproportional to the actual harm inflicted on the victim in many cases, and thus just moral panic. The moral panic about rape, also called "rape hysteria", is likely an unnecessary burden on the mental development of young men and overall leads to a less functional society.
