Common rape myths involving female victims may include:
All I see are a bunch of based facts
- That women commonly or routinely lie about rape.[19][20][21][13][22][12][23][24]
- That what the victim is wearing can lead to a sexual assault, or that rape is the victim's fault if they wore revealing clothes.[19][13][22][25][26][1][27][23]
- That victims bear responsibility for an assault if they were intoxicated when it happened.[19][28][29][30]
- That most rapes are committed by strangers.[20][21][25][31] (In reality, most rapes are committed by friends, family, or other individuals known to the victim.)[32][5][33][24]
- That only young women deemed sexually attractive can be raped.[34]
- That when a man pays for a dinner or date, a woman is expected to reciprocate with intercourse.[19][20][22]
- That women who are raped often deserve it – particularly if they entered a man's home or got in his car, or that such actions indicate consent to sex.[20][1][23]
- That it is not rape unless the victim fights/physically resists, or that it is not rape unless the victim is physically coerced or injured.[35][20][25][27] (In reality, many rapes do not involve physical coercion, as in cases where the victim is impaired/unconscious, or where an unequal power relationship forces the victim to submit.)[36][37][38][35]
- That a woman should be able to avoid rape by "fighting off" the rapist, and that she has the responsibility to do so.[5][1]
- That some women secretly want to be raped.[21][25][23][24][39]
- That the victim enjoyed being raped if they had experienced orgasm or became aroused.[40]
- That it is impossible to rape one's wife or intimate partner.[21][25][23]
- That rape is simply unwanted sex, not a violent crime.[21]
- That women "ask for" rape – for example, by flirting, dressing provocatively, consuming alcohol or behaving promiscuously[1] – or that only certain "kinds of" women (i.e., "bad girls") are raped.[13][1][12][41][23][24]
- That women often say "no" when they really mean "yes", as a way of leading men on.[42]
- That men are unable to control themselves once they become sexually excited, that women are responsible for rape if they allow things to go too far,[20][25][27] or that consent to kissing, petting, etc. constitutes consent to intercourse.[43]
- That women commonly falsely allege rape out of spite, to overcome guilt after a sexual encounter they regret, to cover up an unwanted pregnancy, or for attention.[25][27]
- That rape must be sexually motivated. Many researchers have concluded that power and/or anger, not sex, are often the dominant motivator of rapes.[31][44]
- That most rapists are psychotic or mentally ill.[44][23][24]
- That consent to one sexual encounter constitutes consent to another (i.e., that it cannot be rape if the victim and rapist have previously had consensual sex).[43]
- That "real" victims report rape immediately. (In reality, victims often do not report rapes immediately due to societal pressure, possible backlash, and trauma such as rape related post traumatic stress disorder, also known as rape trauma syndrome. Victims of rape may also feel feelings of guilt and shame which deter them from reporting the crime, or doing so promptly.)[45][46][3][47][48][49]
