Found this today – I'm appalled.

Sorry PrinxTiger,

I honestly don't see what's appalling about it.

The Sexual Offences Act, 2003 may be appalling in its definition of rape, but the relevant section is merely being summarized here.

I'm quite willing to believe that the majority of sexual assaults are indeed committed by men against women. This allows for something like a 60:40 ratio.

That "both women and men may experience rape" is something we would want to advocate.

Perhaps it's the specific mention of the importance of support for women but not for men which appals. The myth being busted in this section, however, is "Women cannot rape other women."

That Rapecrisis is entirely gynocentric is a separate issue.

Best Wishes,

UnexpectedItem

It's also important that men who are assaulted by women are believed.

I must be confusing this or reading it wrong, if a women where to tie me down and have sex with me against my will that wouldn't be rape?

What a sickening and misandristic website...

Speaking as a girl, this is ridiculous. Of course women can rape other women. Men can also be raped by women. Statistically speaking it is much more common for the rapist to be male, but that doesn't mean that the penetration has to be with a penis for it to be called rape. I doubt many people would appreciate being surprised with a cucumber shoved up their orifices.

Its my opinion that males and females do roughly the same amount of crime, across all categories, but a lot is underreported. There are many ways to sexually assault a person. Females will more often use a weapon to make up being shorter or weaker.
