India's law says only men can rape. This is indisputable.
Feminists fought to make this the case. This is also indisuptable.
Feminism did what it's supposed to do by nature: prevent women from being punished for committing crimes.

NEW DELHI: "Gender just, gender sensitive and not gender neutral rape laws," is what women's groups, human rights groups and activists are demanding. The appeal gains significance as it comes at a time when the 2013 Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance and the report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee are set to come up for debate in Parliament.
The women's groups and human rights bodies want "all parties aligned with women's rights to ensure that laws made in the wake of the brutal Delhi gang-rape case do not leave women even more vulnerable than they already are".
"The report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the 2012 Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill as well as the 2013 Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance not only violates the letter and spirit of the Justice Verma Committee (JVC) recommendations but endangers and deepens women's vulnerability in this country," said representatives of women's groups preparing to raise the issue nationwide to create awareness on the lacunae in the law.

Women cannot be punished for committing rape in India. Feminists made this happen.Statement by feminist and queer groups and individuals:
The report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the 2012 Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill as well as the 2013 Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance not only violates the letter and spirit of the Justice Verma Committee (JVC) recommendations but endangers and deepens women’s vulnerability in this country.
Representatives of women’s groups, democratic and human rights groups and activists are alarmed about major lacunae in current legislative protection to women, upheld by the Standing Committee report, and we insist on the following:
The Accused Must Be Male.
