why are people saying Outlander is a rape book?

There was rape in the book, but it was male on male and it was horrifying and saddening. Then there was the part on domestic violence, i did not like how the victim had reacted afterwards, giving excuses and forgiving the perpetrator like 6 seconds after, but if the victim was a real person and this did happen, she would have probably acted the same way. I do not in any way promote domestic violence, but for the sake of character development, it was a proper reaction.
I believe this book portrays the realities of the 18th century and it was great at it. But if you would like to read about fantasy or unrealistic premises, then go ahead and pick another book because this just isn't it.(less)
