Only (2) and (4) show insensitivity to the suffering of rape victims specifically.
(1) and (3) are outrageously insensitive and ridiculously patronizing comments that people receive after they:
- lose their loved one
- get raped
- become disabled to the point of losing the job that used to be the passion of their lives
- get a divorce against their wishes
- and a whole laundry list of others.
