But you do in assessing proper reaction and punishment to the perpetrator. The wording used to the victim is a thin ice to thread and can be a lot different, completely for good reasons. The wording used to put the perpetrator on trial, especially if it appeals to the jury via public awareness, needs to be very specific, and any deviations from using exact words with right connotations is either used to lighten the crime or make it more vile than it perceptible is.
Yup exactly which is why I think what is happening in Gaza is the completely proper reaction to thousands of Israelis being slaughtered in their beds, babies raped and burned alive, and mother’s beheaded in front of their daughters.
Sexually assaulted under gunpoint vs raped is splitting hairs, imo.
Not a woman myself but I think there’s a difference between getting groped and what most people would think of with the term ‘raped’
You don’t compare in trauma therapy, it’s an unwise road to travel.
