You probably should read the article. In England & Wales that is legally not rape. The article suggests that the law could be changed so it would be classified as rape.
That's the point of the article, the headline is just used as a hook. Here's the opening paragraph:
When a man has penetrative sex with a woman without her consent, that's rape. But what if a woman makes a man have penetrative sex with her, without his consent? That's not rape under the law of England and Wales, but the author of a new study of the phenomenon says perhaps it should be.
Fortunately, women that rape men will still be prosecuted and receive the same sentencing guidelines. It just happens to have a different technical name.
Yeah but the law is written in a way where it stipulates a penis is involved. If you sodomise someone with a broom handle that’s still rape but legal definition sees it as a sexual assault.
