Change the law to class female on male forced sex as rape and not sexual assault
The current UK law classes rape as forced penetrative sex, this completely disregards female on male forced sex, and implies that only a man can rape commit the act of rape. We would like you to consider that rape is "sex without consent" as opposed to penetrative sex without consent.
