Rejected petition Reform the legal definition of rape to include female assailants of rape.

The legal definition of rape states that only men can commit rape, this is untrue as women can force men into sex, and it also does not allow victims of rape by a female to have the assailant be tried for the correct crime. It also affects society as many don't see males as victims of this crime.
