Should a woman be treated the same as a man when she commits a serious sexual assault.

She was placed on the sexual offenders register and given community service. Her victim thinks she should have been given a custodial sentence. So why is the law so unequal when it comes to men being assaulted by a woman?

"A man has described how he felt ‘raped’ by a woman who violently sexually assaulted him after finding out he was gay. Filmmaker Frank McGowan, who has waived his right to anonymity, said he was left suffering from PTSD after the horrific attack by Cheryl Cottrell in May 2015.
The two were at a house party in Glasgow. After finding out he was gay, Cottrell propositioned him and made ‘sickening’ comments.
He told The Daily Record that he tried to fend off her unwanted advances, but when he bent over to pick something up she assaulted him ‘by violently pushing her fingers inside’ him. ‘She didn’t stop and I had to use all my strength to throw her off me,’ he told the paper, adding that it was so forceful that he was bleeding. ‘I still feel empty, hopeless and upset. I felt like the only guy in the world going through the aftermath of this disgusting violence.’
