No, because it's condescending as hell. No detective arrives on a murder scene and immediately say "is this legitimate murder or an overly elaborate suicide" to a family. Saying "legitimate rape" implies little sympathy for the victim and distrust of them.

Is there no difference between a detective immediately and baselessly disbelieving someones story and publicly discussing cases in which someone was actually raped while passively acknowledging that some reported rapes are not legitimate.
What difference does it make if more reported rapes are legitimate than illegitimate? Not all are legitimate. Not all of anything is legitimate.
If anything it is a nod to actual victims. What should be offensive to victims of rape are people who seek to be viewed as victims that actually aren't.

No.. they say "was this a murder or manslaughter."
Which is a pretty good parallel to "legitimate rape" vs illegitimate.
Intent vs outcome.
