"For the past 82 years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation — in its reporting of national crime statistics — has not recognized that men can be raped, that women can be raped by other women, that men and women can be raped with objects or that men and women can be raped while they are unconscious. Moreover, the FBI has not recognized all rape, only “forcible rape.”

But after protest from women’s groups this year [Ms. Magazine, Feminist Majority Foundation], the FBI this week announced it would expand its definition of rape in its Uniform Crime Reports (UCR)."
