    UK law is weird. Technically they’re right. In UK rape is defined as:

    (1) A person (A) commits an offence if—

    (a) he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,
(b) B does not consent to the penetration, and
(c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.

    But as it is worded, especially the first top comment, it reads like defining rape.

      Its a law setup to discriminate against LGBT+ couples by diminishing any rape comitted against them,

      It isnt considerd ‘rape’ unless its man raping a women.

      Another ‘quirk’ of the UKs system which has a 3% conviction rate for rape

      Its one of those things where they know the situation is completely fucked up so they just change how they record it rather than address it.

      Yeah, this is more of a redditor being pedantic (and another redditor not reading what they’re saying) than defending rape. “Well ackshually” meets “oh you aren’t immediately agreeing with everything I think??”

    Then the governance and judiciary of “where they are from” needs to be changed. That pathetic excuse for a human being needs to stop hiding behind supposed legalism… but clearly they do so because they have the privilege to be able to do so. It is very telling their projection of racist supremacy including the presumption of universalism of their worldviews; that their localities’ laws supercedes everyone elses… and they just happen to be linking to British sites.
