I keep thinking about what it may mean and I can only surmise that
it means a woman survived being raped by not being raped.
Much like a murder survivor or plane crash. Survivor implies
surviving otherwise certain death or other.

No, they were raped but were not going to spend the rest of their lives being controlled by it.

Don’t you think arguing about how women who have been raped refer to themselves is a little petty and off the point for this thread about Hillary’s reactions to her husband’s raping? There are bigger fish to fry.

In the majority of rape cases, the rape is the alternative to a violent death. In this context, survivor seems highly appropriate and accurate.
