People scream and shout and wail and sob over those poor, poor poor rape victims and tell them that they're less then human now and whatever dreams they once had are null and void because they are no longer people who are allowed to do things, just victims that need love and support to survive with how mentally shattered they are.
It's sort of like, with kids, if one of them gets a cut or a scrape, then most of the time they'll be fine. You bandage them up, pat them on the back, tell them they're a champ and send them on their way with a smile over their cool spongebob bandaid or whatever. If, on the other hand, you're a hovering soccer mom that runs in screaming and starts weeping and cradling the kid's head in your arms like he was going to die and promising him that he'll never get another horrible wound like that again, then he's going to start crying and freaking out and thinking that his life is over.
That sort of operand conditioning never really goes away, people are always susceptible to the environment they're in even later in life. People who are raped and aren't put into that hysterical screampit tend to go to therapists and deal with it and come out just fine, but they're not the ones you hear about wailing and throwing fits and making their voices heard.
