)Please, supply me with some references.  I was not aware that all states
)had the word "FEMALE" in the rape statutes.  I am sure others are surprised
)as well.  I know thats how it works in practice (nice-n-fair, NOT!!), but
)was unaware that it was in the statutes as applying to FEMALES only,
)uniformly throughout the U.S.

I agree mostly with Chris.  It is (unfortunately, IMO) true that the *FBI*
figures for rape based on the 'uniform crime report' report only female
rapes. However, some states (such as Illinois) are not tabluated because they
refuse to comply with this sexist definition!
