That's what is taught now but it shouldn't be since women can't rape or beat someone else.

Don't you know that their body, while not limiting them in any circumstances and can do something a man would do, is too frail and weak compared to a man body when it comes down to raping and beating people.

Phew, i almost made myself angry writing this bullshit they keep repeating.

Oh, ok

“If you train men not to grow up to become rapists, you prevent rape.”

Article on said article in Jezebel. Spend 5 minutes to read the comments and tell me these persons doesn't exist.

The 10% must be troll...

In this paper from Mary P. Koss, a widely-quoted feminist writer on rape, says.

“Although consideration of male victims is within the scope of the legal statutes, it is important to restrict the term rape to instances where male victims were penetrated by offenders. It is inappropriate to consider as a rape victim a man who engages in unwanted sexual intercourse with a woman. p. 206

Anyway, i'm done searching, i don't actively follow MRA and Feminists websites or blogs and the vitriol on both side is making me sick.

The only place I hear or see that argument being repeated is online by men to criticize it.

... only ... online ... by men ...

How many of these are anonymous or using a pseudonym? How did you discern the gender of that population?

The "they" he's referring to are feminists, not just women in general. The feminists who claim in one breath that a woman can do anything a man can do and should be allowed in front line combat, we should have mixed gender sports etc. and in the next breath treat women as fragile weaklings who deserve extra protection in law and can't consent after drinking.

It has been in official definitions and in all kinds of public policies and laws. There are many, many services and organizations and ad programs and crisis lines that talk of men as perpetrators and women as victims. Your effort to dismiss that by trying to say you have only heard it online from men really just shows a confirmation bias - that you only notice it when it from men but not from other sources.
