Welcome to UK law where women legally can't commit rape. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_English_law

    1-(1) A person (A) commits an offence if— (a) he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis, (b) B does not consent to the penetration, and (c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.

There's still some things to be sorted from both sides. I wrote a long reply to this article earlier and ended up deleting it, MRM/Radical Feminism just makes me so angry because their trite shitty war means any complaints get you branded as the enemy of THEIR SIDE rather than having a legitimate point.

(TE) Radical Feminists have written entire papers on why transitioning male to female is the rape of the female gender, MRM do some bullshit about how MEN HAVE IT THE HARDEST EVER AND FEMALE RIGHTS GO TOO FAR and I know neither group is made up entirely of these asshats but it makes both sides completely unlikeable. When asked I usually just avoid talking about feminism because the second I go "I'm a feminist" I get a deluge of questions ranging from how I'm justifying male rape or male abuse and I'm sick of it all.

I agree that extremist radical feminists are also silly. I didn't mention it because I didn't think it was germane. In general I'm not a fan of extremism of any stripes.
