Quick background
As most of you know, women legally cannot be rapists in the UK. They may in rare cases, be charged with rape through joint enterprise (aiding or participating with a man committing rape). It is pointless to have statistics on perpetrators of rape separated by gender, since female rapists are charged with "sexual activity without consent" and are therefore, their numbers are hidden. If only heterosexual couples could marry would you be surprised that there are no gay married couples?
By the way, even though "sexual activity without consent" may carry a life sentence, in practice it is more lenient since the mid and minimum sentencing guidelines are lower than that of rape. For example, the minimum for rape is 4 years custodial, whereas for SAWC it is only a community order. Unlike rape, the sentencing may also be suspended. This is why you'll often see papers saying "female teacher avoids prison after having sex with male pupil".
The most recent change to the sexual offences act occured in 2003 based on recommendations by two review papers. Relevent section from on of the reviews, Setting the Boundaries:
Of all sexual offences, rape is the most serious, the most feared and the most debated.
We decided that the essence of rape was the sexual penetration of a person by another person without consent. However, penetration comes in many forms. Men put their penis into the vagina, anus and mouth. Other parts of the body (notably fingers and tongues) are inserted into the genitalia and the anus. Objects are inserted into the vagina and anus of victims. Both men and women may perform such penetration. These are all extremely serious violations of victims which can leave them physically and psychologically damaged for many years. We did consider whether there was evidence that a woman could force a man to penetrate her against his will but, although we found a little anecdotal evidence, we did not discover sufficient to convince us that this was the equivalent of rape. (However we do recognise the existence of such coercive behaviour and think it should be subject to the criminal law....
The review was led by:
Membership of the Sex Offences Review
Betty Moxon OBE (Home Office) Chair
Su McLean-Tooke (Home Office) Secretary to the review
Haydee Scarsbrook (Home Office) Administrative support to the review
These women had the chance to gender neutralise rape but decided for men and boys that women forcing themselves on them is not rape. They also insinuate that it is not as serious as women getting raped. Despite it being a serious act which can lead to STD's and the victim becoming a father against their will.
It doesn't matter if "real feminists" (who only come out when feminism is called out) believe in true equality when you have feminists like these in positions of power defining legislations which clearly aren't equal.
