The legal definition of rape means that it can only be carried out by a physically intact man.

Ahh what?? This definition needs to be updated.

The law in England and Wales defines rape as sexual assault in which a victim is penetrated with a penis. If another body part or an object is used, it has a different name - sexual assault by penetration, I believe. But it's the same level of crime with the same possible sentence.
