Thanks for writing an article version of my replay to that first comment on the rape article. This idea needed way more attention than my reply could have ever gotten it on its own.
Rape is not a competition. You don’t need to invalidate someone else’s experience in order to validate your own. I’m sorry you went through that, but you have no right to tell this girl that her own rape wasn’t rape enough by your standards. It was real to her and that’s all that matters.
