Re: rageful tl;dr
I think it comes from people who are still in relationships with their rapists, or who haven't gotten free of the manipulation that often surrounds sexually abusive relationships. It's very hard to look at a situation that mirrors your own and say "X is a rapist" where in your case, X is your spouse/parent/friend/relative/parent of your child/boss/defender/etc. and you still have contact with them and they may even be sitting across the room from you. The issue may even be resolved between you, restitution made and forgiveness given, but the fact remains—people are pushing into your head again that you must label someone entangled in your life as a rapist.
