Is there "equal but different" terminology used regarding equivalent acts?
In parts of the UK "female rape" is referred to as "Sexual assault" and "is treated the same as rape" and "carries the same sentencing terms".
Which is all entirely bullshit since;
In the court of public opinion hearing "rape" is always worse than "sexual assault".
The minimum and maximum sentencing terms in some countries for 'sexual assault' vs 'rape' are 6 months and 7 years minimum for the former vs 10 years and life maximum for the latter.
So "for the same thing" men can be sentenced to life for something a woman may only get 6 months for simply because of how things are defined.
