    Honestly it’s your problem if you think rape is less of an issue because of something that very obviously does not happen all that often.

      It’s a ‘boy who cried wolf’ problem. If you start using the term inaccurately, at first you get lots of attention, then very quickly everyone assumes that when you say you were raped, someone actually just walked in on you in the bathroom.

        Except nobody thinks that about rape at this doesn’t happen often enough to actually cause the change you’re describing
