Make a law that allows Men to be victims of rape.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

As it stands, there is no law that criminalises females over having sexual intercourse with a male without their consent, yet there is one vice versa. Men can be victimised too. If we are to have equality of the sexes, this law has to be passed. Too many suffer. I am one.
Males can be seriously mentally, emotionally and physically damaged by this. We can be victims of rape too. Rape is about the ignorance of consent, and Women can ignore consent just like a Man can. We are the same.
