Wow!! This is really something. And it’s sad that it’s something, that we still live in a culture that protects the rapist and blames the victim. But at least we are seeing some change, however small it might be.
The Uniform Crime Report Subcommittee voted unanimously to change the definition of rape, which had not been changed for 80 years (!) and rape will now be defined as, “penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”
This is huge
Holy Shit. Finally.
