I watched a TV show once that mentioned a TV series about female prisoners of war. The director or producer or whoever asked the actors if they'd mind not shaving for the show since obviously there weren't razors in POW camps. The actors were fine with this but he still asked them to go away and double check with their husbands.

This and rape as a female character development device. You can be a women, be tough, determined, skilled, and have a vulnerable side, and have never had, nor have needed to have divulged a history of sexual trauma. We face other obstacles and tribulations as women that develop character. It doesn't always have to just be sexual assault or abuse.

Women dress in revealing outfits despite being part of a conservative religious society. Everyone is nonchalant about sex despite being part of a conservative religious society. Everyone has modern, disparaging sensibilities about religion despite being part of a conservative religious society. Everyone has modern, disparaging sensibilities about authority despite being part of a violent hierarchy.

"Are these scenes historically accurate?"

"Whatever, they're fun"

"Should we include a lot of rape scenes"

"Ohyesabsolutely it's historically accurate. Also lets make sure she's shaved and the lighting is good and the angle is really good. For accuracy."
