I have not personally been raped, and have seen no studies, so there isn't much evidence, but this seems most plausible.

EDIT: Also, the fact that it's taboo to say this is evidence that it's true.

Many things sound plausible to us when we construct narratives, but they are not necessarily true. And the fact of something being 'taboo' to say is weak evidence at best for its truth value. You seem to be giving a whole lot of credence to your alternate theory without doing much investigation or looking up studies.
