And there are hundreds, if not over a thousand in that database alone. If you can find a reference among them that talks about it, and makes explicit that when they say "breaking," they mean anal rape, then and only then may you bring it up again.
In the meantime, Jez, you can do something that's less time-consuming than that little snipe hunt and just:
Go through those same slave narratives and show where it speaks about female slaves being raped...
Are you going to deny THAT happened?
