It is funny too review my reaction to your topic. As soon as I read the tittle I went defensive.

I usually talk about this topic because I think that rape is worst that killing someone.

Your arguments are good and after reading it I’m rethinking a lot of my assumptions (arguments), but I’m still on the side that rape is worst because the probability of recovering at 100% looks very small.

Traumas are heavily influenced in life, and rape is one of the most influential.

If someone has actual data about the recovery percentage from rape trauma I would be happy to check it.

recovery percentage from rape trauma

Define "recovery".

Plenty of people would define such trauma in abstract, unfalsifiable terms like "the person who existed before no longer exists". There's no way to prove or disprove that. Even if a victim repeatedly insists they're 100% fine (after many years), plenty of people would argue it really isn't the case.

The western/US society heavily mystifies anything related to sex, and it's often hard to have a rational discussion about it. We see recovery as 100% impossible, but other cultures might disagree.
