You've been making a lot of statements of that sort -- "if X, then Y much more distant effect." And I keep on really, really not agreeing. If you look further downstream, at cepetit's comment, you'll see that our laws are moving toward a model where there is a category of "criminal sexual assault," with gradations within it based on the circumstances. Calling all forms of killing another person "homicide" doesn't erase the distinction between hitting somebody with your car when your tire blows out, and planning a brutal serial murder. Likewise, calling all cases of non-consensual penetration "rape" doesn't mean that holding somebody at knifepoint and raping her until she nearly dies will somehow cease to be monstrous.
