[[Double Standard Rape (Female On Female)]] is in large part based on the idea that [[No True Scotsman|lesbian sex is not "real" sex]]. Men, penises, and penile penetration are central to sexual relations; without a penis involved, there can be no sex, and without sex, there can be no rape. [[Insane Troll Logic|Therefore, anything a woman does to another woman is "not a big deal"]].
It should be noted that, at least in the United States, this viewpoint was legally supported until the 1970s. The definition of "rape", historically, was defined as the act of forcing sexual intercourse on a ''woman'' by a ''man''. Currently, all states define rape without referencing the sex of the victim or the perpetrator, acknowledging that women and men can both rape and be raped, but many people still believe that the presence or absence of the penis determines whether any given sex act is actually sex or not. In other locations, the presence of the penis is still required for an act to be legally considered "rape" rather than "unwanted sexual touching" or other such descriptions.
This trope is invoked where women raping other women is seen as harmless or even sexy, and therefore not worth fretting over. After all, [[Girl
The trope (and audiences' reaction) is used similarly in [[Boys Love]] works for male-on-male rape, but where BL often uses it [[Rape As Drama|for drama]], female-on-female rape in most media would like the rape not to last any longer than the scene it happens in. Don't expect victims to think about it too hard after the fact.
Obviously this trope describes a [[Double Standard]], and an extremely insulting one, in that it supports not one, not two, but ''four'' [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Women are so weak and ineffectual they just '''''can't''''' harm anyone, not even other women, even less by sex; lesbian sex is [[Girl
As the [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)]] page says, please [[Don't Try This At Home]]. '''[[No Real Life Examples, Please]] until further notice'''.

* One (softcore) example from ''The Stewardesses 3-D'': The chief stewardess aggressively puts the moves on one of the junior ones, to which she yields. Later, a male character reveals that his (also male) boss extracted sexual favors from him in return for promotion, leaving him permanently embittered.
