I believe English law does make that distinction. People are, rightly I think, trying to change that.

    Federal law says rape means any forcible and non consensual penetration by a penis, digits, or objects. He reads the federal law in the video.

    Some states still have old nonsense on their books, but federal law is clear. This guy was arguing against federal law, and more to the point, he said all guys would be guilty of rape if that were true.

    Oh I knew he was American and our laws differ. Just pointing out that perhaps the moron got his understanding from English law, or worse, his "common sense".

    Yeah, I figured you might have thought we were talking about ye old laws that are still on the books. Nope. This idiot is not capable of that sort of reasoning. I recommend watching the video if you’ve the stomach for it. It’s insane.
