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.
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??”

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.

it’s not just UK. Many commonwealth countries has the same legal definition.
