Collecting data for a regression on crime when I found the FBI's definition of rape.

New definition:

The new definition of rape is: “The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”

However, many "public awareness" campaigns implicitly deny the possibility that women can be perpetrators with phrases like "men can stop rape":

Why should you care about healthy masculinity? Because men who choose it choose to be strong without being violent. It’s a life-changer that benefits women and men.

Note that in the recent Ohio State case where a drunk man and woman were publicly filmed while he was giving oral sex to her, no one considered the possibility that the man was too drunk to consent to giving oral sex, and the woman was reportedly pressing her genitals into his mouth, potentially penetrating his mouth and making him a victim of her rape.

RAINN also defines rape as being penetrated. So does oneinfourusa. Virtually every academic feminist in the country defines rape in a way that conveniently excludes victims of F-on-M rape except in the rare instances where the woman sodomizes the man. Mary Koss, one of the most prominent feminist researchers best known as the author of the original "one in four women will be raped" survey, is pretty upfront about her belief that we shouldn't call it rape unless the man is penetrated. And people wonder why MRAs consider feminism a hate movement. They just want to play the victim card and be able to say things like "90% of rape victims are women and 99% of rapists are men," failing to mention that they defined rape to exclude instances where a woman forced herself on a man without penetrating him.

As for government statistics, don't have the source right now but while the CDC defines rape as being penetrated, they do have a separate category for "forced to penetrate," which shows that men are "forced to penetrate" as often as women are forcefully penetrated (about 1.2%/year for each gender).

This gets posted here all the time.

It is the definition the FBI uses for generating statistics. It is not their understanding of the law.

It's bad, but not as bad as it first appears.

Why not just coin a new phrase for the rape of a male.
