In spite of being from an influential political family, the caller had no legal remedy. Counsellors had a tough time trying to figure out how courts could help him. To their dismay, they found that the Indian rape laws did not recognise a man as a victim.

Feminism is the reason that there's no law against women raping men. The Indian government planned to make rape laws gender neutral, and feminists fought against this and won.

Here's an article

Kalpana Vishwanath from Jagori said that making a gender neutral rape law will pave the way for bigger problems and make the woman more vulnerable. Dwelling on the reality of rape, women activists say, "It is an act of violence that must be seen in the context of deeply entrenched power inequalities between men and woman in our society. Gender neutral provisions only strengthen those already powerful, silencing the real victims."

Note that the organization mentioned, Jagori, is a feminist organization. Here's a quote from its website

Production and distribution of creative material on feminist issues

Dissemination of information and knowledge on feminist concerns to meet the needs of women´s groups, NGOs, and development organisations

Didn't Indian officials also state men can't be raped?
