It generally depends on the country.
In most civilised countries, yes, they can and have been. Women are treated as equally as men when it comes to the law in most modern countries.
"Rape" does not necessarily mean "man forcing a woman to penetration". Rape is also defined as:
- Forced oral sex
- Forced anal penetration
- Forced sexual groping
- Forced sexual masturbation
- Forced intercourse against one's will
- "Dry humping" without one's consent
- Any form of sexual contact while the other is unaware (asleep, drunk, unconscious) - unless permitted in relationships (for some people sex while the other is asleep is a fetish and consent has been given)
- And so on
Basically, anything sexual-related which wasn't permitted or consented by the other, is rape, regardless of the gender of the person committing the act. This includes in relationships and marriages.
In some gender-bias countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, the law does not believe women can rape men. However in these countries it is also legal for a man to rape a woman if he is married to her. Which in the modern western world is illegal.
So, yes, in the modern world a woman can be arrested and tried for raping a male or another woman, and many women have been arrested and jailed for this. Just as a man can be arrested and tried for raping a woman or another male.
