Raping.
It’s absurd, but under law in England and Wales, it isnt “rape” unless it is P-in-V. Hence the Guardian’s use of what would seem like a euphemism. It’s only “rape” if it is a male who is the perpetrator.

edit: for clarity
Didn’t she get pregnant though?
Sorry, my phrasing was ambiguous. I’ll edit it to clarify.
If you visit the link I posted you’d learn that under English law, the rapist has to be the one with a penis. Otherwise it isn’t legally rape.

She was never called a paedophile on the news either, women never are.
