Dictionary definition of rape proves gender bias

It is implying that it is more serious when inflicted upon a woman. Dictionary.com is widely used for quick searches. While not as official as Merriam-Webster, it is still considered a credible source so this is troubling to an extent. However, recent strides in written law have been made to remove this gender bias. We are getting there one step at a time.

I assume that it tries to define what the word "rape" means generally.

You have to admit that this is only one dictionary. There's more than just one of them, so others could have different definitions.
