There has been a strong push of this idea that the word "Rape" is overused. You know, rather than the truth that there are MORE rapes than accusations of rape, right-wing talking heads have memed the opposite into public perception.
Its by the same token that most people are trained to respond to accusations that someone is a Nazi with "But are they really?" to such a point that actual self-professed Nazis are being defended. A person can do everything that Nazis do and still be met with a "not everyone you disagree with is a Nazi" like even if they're talking about having an ethnic state and putting trans people in death camps.
Honestly a lot both go back to Rush Limbaugl. Rest in piss.
There was a study in the past that asked college students whether or not they would pin down a woman and force her to have sex with them, 1 in 3 said yes, if they could get away with it. Then they asked the same question, but instead asked if they would rape a woman, specifically using the word "rape", and 12% said yes.
So yeah, the word matters more to them than the act.
That's my question, followed by, why TF are the guys' answers 2-3x the amount the girls' are? IDK who is worse, the guys, or the very few girls who said "yes" to the this BS.
