This is a normal post Excellent and worthy.
There's a long list of things that don't match the expectations people have from TV and movies. Most rape victims (victims of violent crime in general) don't fight and struggle, and most rapists don't need to use too much real force, just the implied threat is enough. Most muggers/robbers aren't directly violent. People's reaction to trauma (loved one dying, house burning down, car accident etc) vary considerably.
The first thing we are built for is survival, and our survival instincts are often counter intuitive, something well articulated by this article.
