This might be from a while ago, but it's certainly a step forward for Men's Rights.

As has been stated before: It is unclear whether the new definition includes the most common type of rape committed by women and against men: Rape by envelopment.

They're trying to inflate the numbers for women as much as possible, while minimizing the numbers for men.

If the definition wanted to include rape by envelopment, it would not be unclear in this regard.

A step forward but still coming horribly short. The new definition

...the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object...

might finally start to include men as victims of rape, but ignores the primary method of male rape: envelopment. If a woman is raping a man, most of the time she's not going to be penetrating him; she's going to be forcing him to penetrate her. By focusing the wording of "penetration," they are fueling the ideological fires of men being the primary (if not only) committers of rape. This new revision is akin to candy being dangled in front of us and only letting us get a lick; they're admitting men can be raped, but still refusing to acknowledge the most prevalent type.
