As the opening text makes clear, such a description would be too narrow to cover the legal scope of rape.Sbishop (talk) 13:51, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In the history section, under War Rape, the word "complained" in the sentance "French women in Normandy complained about rapes during the liberation of Normandy." would benefit from being changed to something less emotionally charged, such as "reported". While not technically wrong, it simply does not feel appropriate. 213.108.152.125 (talk) 00:48, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've made the change you suggest, though it probably merits expansion. I'll look into the sources further. AndyTheGrump (talk) 01:55, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the subdivision of the section History called 'War rape', I request for where it says "The systematic rape of 80,000 women by the Japanese soldiers during the six weeks of the Nanking Massacre is an example of such atrocities" to be changed to "The systematic rape of 80,000 women by the Japanese soldiers during the six weeks of the Nanjing Massacre is an example of such atrocities" please. 2A0A:EF40:1232:F101:FC6F:89A4:2541:AF4B (talk) 18:54, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That one South African doctor's vagina dentata device should be removed from this section unless reliable sources can establish it is widely promoted as a prevention method. The "effective" claim is also unsourced. 116.255.53.19 (talk) 04:44, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
