I think it's REALLY valid when you're seeing yourself in the place of the wronged woman, to want the fantasy of someone who A) believes you, B) places no blame on you, and C) is OUTRAGED on your behalf and would do anything for you, whether it's pure vengeance or protection from future attacks.

Like, the problem in mainstream stuff that uses this trope is that it tends to ignore the woman's pain in favor of the man's, but like... many women who've had to deal with sexual harassment/abuse/assault or even just living with the fear of it, and the fear of how the people you love will treat you after, I think can understand the appeal of a fantasy where the men in your life are wholly on your side!

Even as a non-woman person who's had to deal with harassment and the fear of assault, like... I get it.

I don't trust any series to handle it right and not make it all about the man pain instead of the couple's feelings as they deal with trauma together as two people with emotions and agency, but in fanfic it's different.
