Based on the long, long history of posts on TFP, I'm going to have to agree.

Rape by gender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Non-statutory female-on-male rape

Much like female erectile response and contrary to popular opinion, Male erectile response is involuntary.[16][17] Rape of a man by a woman is thus possible.
However, male victims of sexual abuse by females[18] often face social, political, and legal double standards.[19] Though studies show otherwise,[20] female abusers are usually seen as less culpable than male abusers/rapists by the courts due to these misconceptions. Since rape by females is much less well known than male-female abuse, male victims of female abusers often find little support from rape crisis centers and even the authorities. While gender neutral laws have combated the older perception that rape never occurs to men,[21] and other laws have eliminated the term altogether,[22] the double standards still remain. Due to these reasons, it is likely being substantially under-reported, with the probable cause being the double standard.[23]
Other possible contributing reasons for the lower percentage of reported female-on-male rapes include lack of lasting effects/evidence such as inpregnation or the male may not be entirely against the female's advances.

Rape of females by females

Female on female rape is often labeled "lesbian rape", though the sexual identity of one or both (or more) persons involved may or may not actually be lesbian. Forced penetration by another female is possible with the use of strap-ons, dildos, other foreign objects and digital penetration.
A few books, such as Violent Betrayal: Partner Abuse in Lesbian Relationships by Dr. Claire M. Renzetti,[24] No More Secrets: Violence in Lesbian Relationships by Janice Ristock,[25] and Woman-to-Woman Sexual Violence: Does She Call It Rape? by Lori B. Girshick[26] also cover the topic of rape of females by other females.
