Change the UK legislation on rape as a woman CAN rape a male

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government and Parliament to look in to Female-to-Male rape as it is a thing.
Woman can rape too and I believe the law is discriminatory against men with this; due to the theory and stigma of a man should “man up and fight back”, it’s not that easy when in fear.
Just because a man gets an erection at a woman DOES NOT MEAN HE IS AROUSED! Just like if a woman gets wet while being raped does not mean they’re aroused. It’s a natural factor within our body that creates this and makes it hard.
