=== "Women never provoke rape" ===
Contrary to feminist claims, there is [[#Rape baiting|substantial of evidence]] that at least some women like to provoke sexual attention of other men, often indeed with the intention of being forced into sex. Such women are likely predominantly [[life history|fast life history strategists]] on the [[BPD]] spectrum.

=== Rape hysteria ===
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). The most common outcome is that the victim shows [[antifragility|resilience]], i.e. neither physical nor psychological harm in the long term.
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. This exaggerated response to rape may even pose a substantial economic burden with a lifetime burden of $122,461 per rape victim (mostly [[psychiatry|medical costs]] and [[NEET|lost work productivity]]), amounting to a population economic burden of nearly $3.1 trillion (2014 U.S. dollars) over victims’ lifetimes, based on data indicating >25 million U.S. adults have been raped.<ref>https://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(16)30615-8/fulltext</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. All of this is complicated by the fact that most women have [[#Rape_fantasies|rape fantasies]] and at least a minority of [[life history|fast-life strategists]] appears 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>
Rape hysteria may also be an unnecessary burden on the mental development of young men<ref>http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.psychotherapiepraxis.at/artikel/sexualtherapie/zwangsgedanken_paedophilie.phtml&prev=search</ref> and may contribute to deteriorating romantic lives due to the additional fear of being [[metoo|falsely accused]] of rape or harassment, causing a [[shy]]ness to [[approach anxiety|approach]] women, but also unfulfilled women (though arguably, men experiencing such shyness also have a predisposition for high neuroticism). Strict legislation pertaining to policing of men's sexuality also yields the danger of eroding the freedom of expression, and of it being abused for censorship and the elimination of political opponents through false allegations and fabricated evidence.
Hysteria about child abuse is also highly prevalent. There are reports of "[[female solipsism|out of control]]" child abuse teams at children's hospitals (probably mostly women<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#90.25_of_victims_of_workplace_mass_hysteria_are_women</ref>), who are too quick to report minor injuries as abuse to authorities.<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/er-doctor-was-charged-abusing-his-baby-15-medical-experts-n1123756</ref> The push to pathologize hebephilia, in particular, which affects at least 20% of males,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#It_is_normal_for_healthy_men_to_find_pubescent_.26_prepubescent_females_sexually_arousing</ref> 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> Some of the moral panic about hebephilia may also in part be caused by the secular trend toward earlier female maturation. As girls develop secondary sexual characteristics substantially earlier in modern countries,<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/feb/10/girls-puberty-year-earlier</ref> it may also increase the incidence of sexual confusions in this regard and moral concerns in response to that.
The prevalence of rape and abuse hysteria may stem from [[sexual revolution|sexual liberation]] as it ended the historically highly prevalent sexual segregation,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> leading to more friction surface between the sexes. This liberation began primarily as a "freedom to risk rape", but over time, the goal post was moved to transforming the entire public sphere into a safe space for women<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SazYMVUU4uY</ref> which increasingly meant policing men's overall behavior while transforming the public space into women's living rooms. Rape hysteria may also stem from the greater prevalence of women in politics as women seem to be generally more prone to group think and hysteria,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#90.25_of_victims_of_workplace_mass_hysteria_are_women</ref> possibly also stemming from women's motherly instinct to protect the offspring and overall mental [[neoteny]]. Accusations of paraphilias may also result from adaptations for [[intrasexual competition]] between men in terms of gossip about being [[neurotypical|abnormal]].
Feminist [[Camille Paglia]] has been particularly vocal reprimanding other feminists to have grossly exaggerated the dangers of rape.<ref name="bj1999">Keith Burgess-Jackson. 1999. A Most Detestable Crime: New Philosophical Essays on Rape</ref>
Paglia denies ''date rape'' is “real rape”. She says, “the sexual im­pulse is egotistical and dominating, and therefore I have no problem understanding rape.” She says that part of the thrill of sex for women is “risking rape.”<ref name="bj1999"></ref>
Even though there is evidence that the harm of rape has been overstated (at least with the broad meaning it has been redefined to have), it of course does not mean that rape is good, and, secondly, even though some women have a rape kink, it does not mean that women as a whole are inferior humans or second class people. The existence of such desires is not an excuse for physical violence.
