Counterpoint: a friend of mine was violently raped a decade ago, and I went with her to the hospital the next morning to get an exam and a rape kit to make a complaint. The police both refused to process the rape kit, and threatened to press charges against her for making a false complaint for 'regretting rough sex'. And that was with full on torn genitals, with an exam, violent rape, in a major metropolitan area in the US.
We haven't come as far as you're making it out to be.
I actually regret convincing her to go to the hospital and the police as all it did was increase the amount of trauma she experienced.
