I don't normally post these sorts of links but there is a first time for everything.
I read this article and got triggered to over 9000.
When a man has penetrative sex with a woman without her consent, that's rape. But what if a woman makes a man have penetrative sex with her, without his consent? That's not rape under the law of England and Wales, but the author of a new study of the phenomenon says perhaps it should be.

The article includes stories about partners handcuffing men to the bed, feeding them viagra and then having sex with them against the males wishes. And somehow this isn't rape? Yes, "perhaps" this should be classed as rape! I'm amazed that the law is so one sided; if a male did this behaviour (drugged and bound their non consenting partner to a bed) they would rightfully be crucified legally and through "social media mob justice"!
However, I won't ignore the fact that it is likely (I don't have any numbers) that far more males rape other people than females rape other people, and (again no evidence, just an impression from reading the news) the law is quite bad at prosecuting rapists as it is. It might even be the case that more male rapists don't get prosecuted than female rapes occur in a year, I don't know. The law has been like this for however many years and "generally" isn't a problem I suppose.
You could argue there are bigger fish to fry in terms of where men are poorly represented (divorce laws), and bigger fish to fry in terms of rape laws (as above, low prosecution rates). Do you this the law needs adjusting pronto?
