No, one is a crime and the other is several crimes. Both are rape.
I respect your passion in your answer. But I suspect we need to ask women, solely(?), how they feel about a sexual penetration?
But more broadly, let's explore this... I figure a women subconsciously (or even consciously) accepts (in very general terms here) one male to be her sexual partner. And the grey area for me is, if the accepted sexual partners forces sex on the women, it is a crime of greed and disrespect. Whereas, if a man who is not assigned to be the sexual partner forces sex, that is a completely different violation of the lady's personal space and everything thereafter...during the sexual act.
For me, they are so very different.
Any women care to comment?
