That may be different indeed, I do not know. In America, if a guy were trying to rape me I could literally legally kill him, so that's something, but women can't "rape" in the legal definition because the legal definition requires penetration, so at most it'd be sexual assault (this may be the same in FR actually, btw, it is in more places than you'd think), which is legally defensible by normal force, BUT: women, while they may not be able to physically outmatch you, wield the power of the police force and ruining your entire life against you and the ones that would be raping you (well, me anyway lol) know this and use it to their full advantage. You CAN NOT tell the cop "yes I broke her nose but it was because she was trying to rape me." The cop will probably just call you a homophobic slur while he definitely takes you to jail and leaves her with your cats.
