Yes, that’s been a known fact for a long time. It also puts into perspective the whole “guns for women to defend themselves” argument*.

* By which I mean that the argument does not apply in nearly as many cases as some people would like to think.

The other problem is that women that are raped by people they know can become less likely to report it (Or even consider it rape), because it doesn’t fit the image society tends to project of rapists and rape. Somehow, she must have wanted it or it was her fault.
