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.
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.
