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 may often already have had a disposition for high [[borderline personality disorder|neuroticism]], 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, since violent rape is rare and is committed by a [[apex fallacy|tiny subset of men]], and thus it is mostly a [[virtue signaling|moral panic]] serving to advance [[virtue signaling|political goals]] rather than pro-social ones. All of this is complicated by the fact that most women have [[#Rape_fantasies|rape fantasies]] and appear to sometimes [[#Rape baiting|provoke]] it. Wendy McElroy suggested that rape hysteria has inflicted harm on women themselves.<ref>https://www.independent.org/publications/tir/article.asp?id=1162</ref> | The severity with which rape is socially ostracized is thus likely disproportional to the overall harm caused by rape, since violent rape is rare and is committed by a [[apex fallacy|tiny subset of men]], and thus it is mostly a [[virtue signaling|moral panic]] serving to advance [[virtue signaling|political goals]] rather than pro-social ones.
