Rape is any kind of forced sexual act according to our legislation. No penis required.
Still, you'd think a first world nation would not stoop so low as to legally protect rapists.
Also, the definition of rape in the US is:
Quote:Rape in the United States is defined by the Department of Justice as "Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.
You should see the number of stories from men that opened their eyes to a girl riding them after getting shit drunk at parties. By common sense this of course is considered rape but legally this is not rape. Men that report these instances to the authorities are of course belittled and made fun of by peers and family equally, have their sexuality questioned etc. There are also scenarios of men opening their eyes to a woman unsolicitedly giving them a Handjob or blowjob.
Can you imagine this scenario with the genders reversed? A woman opening her eyes to a guy plowing her and him walking away from the courts, no, imagine the authorities refusing to even file a complaint. Imagine the outrage. Now imagine the injustice when male rape victims are laughed at and female rapists are legally protected, by first world nations to say the least.
Look, I don't want to drift off our subject here, my answer to your question is that extreme leftist ideas are insanely more mainstream compared to extreme rightist ideas, not that it's a bad thing but extreme leftist ideas should be viewed just as bad as extreme rightist ideas.
First of all, you are making it seem like even if the law about rape excludes females from being charged with specifically rape, that they would just walk off free without being charged with any crime. Also, your lack of knowledge about how the law works is pretty obvious. In the US, the federal government doesn't charge individuals with crimes unless the government has jurisdiction or special interest. That doesn't happen too often. Citizens are charged by local jurisdictions, usually county or city. Those laws are what matters. So quoting some site who doesn't even quote the DOJ correctly or fully means you found something that fit your narrative and rolled with it. Here is the actual definition of rape from the Bureau of Justice Statistics itself (this is the statistics arm of the US Dept. of Justice.)
BJS.gov Wrote:Forced sexual intercourse including both psychological coercion as well as physical force. Forced sexual intercourse means vaginal, anal or oral penetration by the offender (s). This category also includes incidents where the penetration is from a foreign object such as a bottle. Includes attempted rapes, male as well as female victims, and both heterosexual and same sex rape. Attempted rape includes verbal threats of rape.
So male victims are entirely included in the law on the federal scale. I am sure you can find some county in Mississippi where the law on the books reads that males are the only ones that can be charged with rape, but there are still laws on the books in many states that are unconstitutional or way out of date. I mean in my own state, it is illegal for an atheist to run for political office. The law still exists as written, but it is unconstitutional as hell, and if ever challenged would be changed. (Article IX, Section 2.) The point is that you can find old, outdated laws almost anywhere that simply need a precedent to change them.
Now, male rape victim reporting is a real issue, mainly due to male victims either not feeling like they were raped, perceived societal response, or something else, but that's not an issue of encoded law.
I still do not see how this is a 'left' or 'right' issue.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
