Shark attacks are also extremely rare. Dogs would be a better comparison, in that they can be extremely dangerous but most of them are not which is why we keep them around.
Dogs are definitely better than sharks but still bad. Every women I’ve ever spoken to about it has a scary story about an interaction with a man. I’ve never yet met a woman who says actually, nothing scary has ever happened to me. I’ve been very lucky and I still have a handful of stories. I can count on one hand the number of stories of people I personally know about dogs attacking or even just really biting.

Also, sexual trauma hits different. It just does.
