Since 1929, the FBI defined rape as “the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will.” Taken literally, this definition means men can’t be rape survivor and also excludes forced anal and oral sex. Now, I am happy to report that as of October 19, 2011, the FBI changed the definition to “penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”
Bravo, and well done.
