Saw this on women's stuff and didn't wanna engage cause that space isnt for me, but felt like this was a 10/10 post and wanted more people to see and think about it!
Feel free to cross post if you can think of broader communities where more people would be able to see it, this is just the comm that came to mind :)
Maybe the graph is supposed to show that (for some reason exclusively male) rapists decisions are evil beyond the physical rape?
Ie that rapist-ism is a continuous function (that is all morally evil), not just a discrete step sudden evil. I can see how claiming rape as a one time thing is used to minimise victims experience, and I agree that this is a valuable distinction. I just can't see why the author felt they had to base the graph on gender.
Then again, the author is human like everyone else so I guess their personal experience (on a topic like this potentially even PTSD) will bias their work, and we can't expect everyone to be perfectly woke 110% of the time.
