Rape Laws are gender biased


The Laws concerning Rape are very biased. It assumes that only a man can rape an woman. A woman cannot rape. A man cannot be victim of rape. This needs to be changed to make it a gender balanced law instead of a gender biased law in the current form.

If an adult woman has a physical relationship with a minor boy it must amount to statutory rape as it is has been considered in many other countries.

Another thing is that a consent given under the influence of alcohol is not a consent. This does not make any sense. It should not matter whether the person is under influence of alcohol or not, he or she is responsible for her actions, if the person is an adult. So a consent given under influence of alcohol should be a consent in the Court of Law. Otherwise, after giving consent, to land the man into trouble the woman would say that her consent was only under the influence of alcohol.
