Not going to play semantics here. There is definitely a different level of trauma for a person to experience for something they are physically forced or threatened by force to endure than something they are convinced to do even if they would have otherwise not. It's insulting to victims of the former to pretend otherwise.

Sure, there are different levels of trauma in different incidents.

That doesn't make the less-obviously traumatic incidents okay; they're still very bad.

> It's insulting to victims of the former to pretend otherwise.

There's nothing insulting to victims in acknowledging other victims. There is something extremely insulting to victims in refusing to acknowledge any harm to them if it doesn't meet your arbitrary standard for significance.

Valid point, but we are talking about those very victims you are worried about insulting here. Girls who were physically forced to have sex.

And to reply to those who say that boys are also raped, yes. But only 4% of males reported that.
