Women are raped by other women. We need the UK law to acknowledge this.

Additional Information

According to the law, only a man can commit rape (as the penetration has to be with a penis). However, both women and men can be raped. A rape can occur within a relationship or within a marriage.
The law says:
‘A’ is guilty of rape if:
he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of ‘B’ with his penis; ‘B’ does not consent to the penetration, and
‘A’ does not reasonably believe that ‘B’ consents

The law needs to recognize that a woman being forced into sex with either a foreign object (inclusive on sex toys), tongue or fingers by another woman is RAPE.
Also -

If 'B' does not consent to any of the above
OR -
'A' does not reasonably believe that 'B' consents
This is rape too.
