7. We are a collectively mentally ill society that hates women
We are an extremely sick society that still hates women, and this goes all of the way up to the judicial system.

None of this ever happens at trials where men are raped, I would imagine. The defensive wants to play on the jury's prejudices using "slut shaming" as a tactic, and dehumanize the rape victim.
