We have, so far, carried out this whole discussion in the context of males raping females, since that is factually the more common situation (though if we were talking about crimes in general and were assuming black perpetrators because in actual experience blacks are convicted of committing crimes more often by far than whites we would be accused of insensitivy and racism, but nobody thinks to accuse people who speak of rape always as male on female as insensitive and sexist).

But also interesting is the question of when and under what conditions a women rapes a man if she won't take no for an answer. Suppose you have a power inbalance -- doctor patient, teacher student, etc. -- where the dominant female used her influence to coerce sex out of an unwilling male. Are we here also willing to call that rape, an jail the woman for life, the same sentence Kobe Bryant is facing?
