It depends on the beating, it depends on the rape, it depends on the victim, and it depends on the perpetrator. Being "forced to have sex" by your boyfriend when you don't want to is rape, but it seems to be something with which an unfortunate number of women are willing to put up and don't consider it all that bad. More along the lines of annoying. Having the crap beaten out of you to within an inch of your life is an extremely traumatic event that can **** you up mentally as well.
This whole mentality that rape is the worst thing that can ever happen to a women is just patriarchal BS. It's bad, but murder is definately worse. Torture is worse (although rape can be used as a form of torture). Everything is conditional.
