In fact, one meta study of N = 55 studies found child sexual abuse accounts for only ''1%'' of the variance in later psychological outcomes, whereas family environment accounted for 5.9% of the variance.<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> Women who do develop PTSD in mild cases presumably already had a disposition for it, which may often only be worsened by a highly dramatized social response to rape. | In fact, one meta study of N = 55 studies found child sexual abuse accounts for only ''1%'' of the variance in later psychological outcomes, whereas family environment accounted for 5.9% of the variance.<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> Women who do develop PTSD in mild cases presumably already had a disposition for it, which may often only be worsened by a highly dramatized social response to rape. | ||
The severity with which rape is socially ostracized is thus likely disproportional to the overall harm caused by rape, especially since rape is rare and is committed by a [[apex fallacy|tiny subset of men]], and thus it is mostly a moral panic. All of this is complicated by the fact that most women have [[#Rape_fantasies|rape fantasies]] and appear to sometimes provoke it. The push to pathologize hebephilia, in particular, has been suggested to be driven by a "punitive era of moral panic", as claimed by forensic psychologist Karen Franklin, "a textbook example of subjective values masquerading as science" (though referring to the sexual interest, not rape).<ref>https://www.ipce.info/library/journal-article/public-policy-implications-hebephilia-response-blanchard-et-al-2008</ref> | The severity with which rape is socially ostracized is thus likely disproportional to the overall harm caused by rape, especially since rape is rare and is committed by a [[apex fallacy|tiny subset of men]], and thus it is mostly a moral panic.
