Petition Amend the Sexual Offence Act 2003 to include female rape

The current Sexual Offences Act 2003 is gender-bias as the law only legally recognises sexual offences committed by males as rape. This neglects those (males and females) who have been have been sexually assaulted by females.

More details

I propose the following changes to the legislation

Rape
1) A person (A) commits an offence if—
(a) A intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with any part of person's (A) body,
(b) A intentionally penetrates their own vagina, anus or mouth with another person’s (B) body,
(c) B does not consent to the penetration, and
(d)A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
