Feminists commonly assume that even mild forms of rape are some of the worst crimes of all, comparable to murder, which is likely a major overstatement. No doubt, rape by strangers, kidnapping, permanent physical trauma, death etc. should be treated as crimes with appropriate severity (i.e. assault and murder), but these do not represent the majority cases of rape. The most common outcome is that the victim shows [[antifragility|resilience]], i.e. neither physical nor psychological harm in the long term. | Feminists commonly assume that even mild forms of rape are some of the worst crimes of all, comparable to murder, which is likely a major overstatement. No doubt, rape by strangers, kidnapping, permanent physical trauma, death etc. should be treated as crimes with appropriate severity (i.e. assault and murder), but these do not represent the majority cases of rape (at least in the overly broad sense it has been redefined as).

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.
