This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Petition Change the UK law on rape to include female on male rape.
THE LAW ON RAPE IS SEXIST
This is unjust and discriminates against men, as women who penetrate their own vagina with a man's penis against his will, can only be convicted of the lesser crime, which carries a
lower minimum sentence.
More details
I propose that the law should be adapted to:
(1) A person (A) commits an offence if-
(a) A intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis;
or
(b) A intentionally penetrates their own vagina, anus or mouth with another person’s (B) penis:
and:
(c) B does not consent to the penetration, and
(d) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
The Government said that it was committed to tackling sexual offending. Yet, today, according to the law, a woman, except in a few rare instances, cannot commit rape.
