In the UK we do have laws that allow women to be convicted for rape in all but name. Assault by penetration (with an object or body part other than a penis) is not classed as rape but does allow for the same maximum sentence. Similarly forcing someone to have penetrative sex with you also carries the same maximum sentence. The definition difference is, to some degree at least, semantic.
