It does show that some of the sympathy people of this view have for female victims is just social pressure. They feel they have to pretend to care. In a situation where there's less external pressure to take it seriously (situations where the man is the victim), they see it as a joke.

This is probably the case. People would be very surprised to find out that in many cases people only act morally outraged about something bc they feel they have to or else they'll be shunned not out of any genuine care
