Rape trauma syndrome does not exist. It is a rather pathetic method of affirming any allegation of rape, see for example:

This article seems to assume that all rape victims are women. I'm quite certain this is innaccurate. Brandonrc2 ( talk) 04:20, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
In general, gender will come to reflect those most heavily working on it. Natural thing to do. Since yes women are raped considerably more (at least in open society; prison notwithstanding,) and since the physical effects can be a fair bit higher than our own, well, its just an editing thing. Im sure no one would object to it being gender neutral, but thats not really an urgent thing since as you yourself stated, this stuff is fairly obvious. Still, its an improvement to be made, but not a core piece of the article needing real attention. Right now, id say its "Accurate Enough For Our Needs."

The repeated use of the term "survivor" in association with a rape bothers me: in my opinion it suggests that victims usually don't survive the ordeal and that the fact that the victim is still alive after the aggression is something worth pointing out. I don't know the numbers but I assume most rape victims do not die during or as a consequence of a rape. Therefore, I would suggest replacing "survivor" by the more neutral term "victim" which seems to better suit the purpose. 85.180.83.36 ( talk) 23:14, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Just because the Victim / Survivor is alive after an attack doesn't mean that nothing had died during it, what about one's prevous lifestyle, conferdence, self esteem, ect .. That persons life will change forever, That person would lose a lot more then just a life. so My veiw is victim or survivor it doesn't really matter but as Victims have been through a lot already it's nice to have something to lighten the blow.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.140.36 ( talk • contribs)

Just a suggestion, I think it would behoove us to add in Prevalence. Seeing as most portrayals in media seem to promote the idea that rape and trauma always go hand in hand, it might stand to reason to let the reader know that the majority of rape victims do not seem to exhibit PTSD-like symptoms. [1] The rational behind this is purely so that rape victims visiting this topic do not get it into their head that simply because of this one event, their whole lives must be ruined and they will never be okay again. This is not to say there aren't people's lives ruined by rape, I would just think it would be beneficial to mention that about half of rape victims are living perfectly passable lives after a handful of months pass.
