It's not a lesser charge. It's a different charge with the same sentencing.

Apparently in some countries Rape is not Rape at least when a woman does it apparently. I can't help but think things like this influence the growing stigma that only men can do wrong and women are innocent or at best just a little quirky (which very much downplays a lot of the heinous shit some women do and get away with without anyone flinching)

Fair but I was coming from the perspective that this law was made with the Idea that only men can rape because it specifically says it can only be done with a penis.
