I don't think that's the far more likely explanation at all. It's definitely the explanation that feels better, sure. But the way we perceive events, the way we feel about ourselves and our lives, is socially mediated. We often look to others to figure out what we're supposed to think and how we're supposed to feel about the things that happen to us, and this can lead us to conclusions that are at odds with our actual experience, and even induce mental health problems (I will admit I have personal experience with this. I firmly believe the anxiety disorder I developed in my early 20s, and the brief aversion to sex that I had, was due to someone I trust convincing me that all sex is degrading and exploitative, causing me to doubt whether I'd ever had or ever could have consensual sex). Combined with all of this is the fact that social contagions almost exclusively affect women.
