Then why wouldn't she be charged with rape?
What legally constitutes rape varies by jurisdiction. Some places still define rape as "they put their penis inside someone who didn't want it inside them". This is a much more narrow definition than what is generally accepted by the public today, but legal definitions are often dated. Those jurisdictions usually have separate, wider definitions for sexual assault or other acts of harm, though, so it's not a free for all.
Because rape means penetration of someone without consent. Assuming Josie probably doesn’t have a penis, it’d be incredibly hard to charge her with rape.
Not making someone penetrate you without their consent?
Listening not trying to get all Jordan Peterson “WHATS HAPPENING TO MEN” here, but if it doesn’t cut both ways what are we really doing?
I think for women, it’ll count as sexual assault. I think legally it can be as bad as rape, considering jail time and such. Both are felonies.
Yes, if she was the instigator.
That's not what the poster sez.
They both went straight to prison. For the crime of being cool people that got laid while they were partying.
