Not sure how you equate that with 'supremacy', or why you want to broaden the definition of rape, which has already been put through the ringer with the rise of this "date rape" nonsense.
Forced penetration of your body is what rape is about. Men can be raped, certainly, and are on a daily basis in prison. Unfortunately, the majority of instances reported as ' rape' are in fact sexual assaults, molestation, felonious assault. Let's try to let rape keep the power and severity it has in reality, shall we? :)

Because forced to penetrate is also rape. You want to get into severity? How about how it affects a man's life when he's the victim of that and has absolutely nowhere to go for help because the prevailing social attitude is to blandly dismiss the crime committed against him as 'not a big deal'?
The mental damage that comes after the actual crime is, for men, something they have no help escaping.

It's not comparable with having your body penetrated against your will, which you can ask any man or woman about who has been penetrated against their will. It's certainly a felonious sex assault, not sure why that's not sufficient for these rare cases. I find the MRA interest in being raped and victimized by women to be really bizarre and credibility destroying.

Because if a woman ties you down, forces viagra down your throat, and rides you for a week it's kidnapping and sexual assault but not rape unless she sticks a finger or dido up your ass.
You might not have a problem with getting your dick wet agaisnt your wishes, but I consider that rape.
edit: here is what your line of reasoning leads to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfc3XIZ4Fo8
A man expelled from college for raping a woman while he was unconscious. The school admits that he was passed out but his penis penetrated her mouth while she was intoxicated.

I need to watch this YouTube report when I have the time.

Actually, that is in opposition to my line of thinking, and falls into the scope of "date rape nonsense".
.. has a woman ever in the history of the world committed that act? Out of the billions of women who have existed? Ever? It sounds remarkable. But yes, even in that extraordinary and ludicrous situation you've created, kidnapping, felonious sexual assault, prison time.

rape, n.; legal definition: unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against the will usually of a female or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception
I dunno... sounds like he's spot fucking on to me.

"Forcibly and under threat of injury" is where it should be left. "A certain age" is arbitrary and ambiguous, that's clearly covered by molestation, incapable of consent is woolly as hell unless it's a retard or an animal, and would be better categorized as felonious assault. But I know, I know, you Reddit people are huge on 'guys get raped all the time by girls, and trannies REALLY are the gender they pretend to be', so I was prepared for the faux outrage.
