I don't know how the alt right belief that the society is too aware of rape and too prone to accusations managed to settle in the map community.
It's literally not true.
The society has a punishment problem, and it will go after everyone who's believed to engage in non normative sexual behavior (consensual or no, they think rape is just a logical conclusion of gay sex or kinks). But the key word is "believed".
The majority of sexual abuse is done by people in a position of authority - parents, rich people, bosses, doctors. And you, especially as a child, would need to go through literal hell to prove you were sexually abused. I was that child, trying to establish sexual boundaries and speak up, I was immediately gaslit to believe I was making it up because I was too sexual.
Basically the only two cases where you, as a rape victim, will not deal with as many obstacles, is when you were raped by someone way below you in the social hierarchy (an immigrant, a homeless person, a drug addict) or when you have someone powerful on your side pushing for the accusation. Which is pretty rare.
And then you still will have to deal with the rape stigma, because, unsurprisingly, the victims are also believed to be perverted and corrupted by sex. And that's why many victims choose not to speak.
The society is not anti rape. Especially it's not TOO anti rape.
An old army guy I knew as a kid would freak out if I was using a cell phone. He was like "They're listening" and I'm just thinking, yea, they're listening but to everyone though, that's like a beach full of sand and your job is to find one specific grain. Goodluck. Unless it winds up right in front of you right when you'll notice it, you're never going to find that grain of sand. It's the same principle as a school of fish. The bigger the school, the smaller the chance of an individual fish getting eaten. If the state has made a school of fish called EVERYfuckingBODY well good luck sorting through that shit, even AI would fumble.

I thought about posting this to normiespace but they wouldn't get it, and they would aay stupid fucking insulting shit like "I don't get it" and then I'll have to suppress the urge to beat them with a pipe and I don't want to do that to my bloodpressure.
I, personally, find this fucking hilarious. I laughed for a solid minute and a half, my sides hurt. I almost passed out.
