Well, considering the question was, "is there anything that literally only males like", and there are in fact women that sexually assault other women, then yes, you are wrong.

That's just something like 0.01% though, so I'd say it's negligible

While certainly a minority, they are not negligible. Especially so in prisons, where inmate-on-inmate SA can be over 3 times higher for women than for men.

where inmate-on-inmate SA can be over 3 times higher for women than for men.

You're referring to the fact that women are 3 times as likely to be victim of SA, not the offender.

I can't tell if I'm tired and missing your point, or if you misunderstood me.

I am specifically referring to inmate-on-inmate SA. As prisons are typically segregated by gender, the offender and victims would both be female in this case. Guard-on-inmate SA on the other hand is mostly male offenders as one might unfortunately expect.

Yeah I guess I didn't think that through...

I found this source that says:

The rate of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization [PDF] is at least 3 times higher for females (13.7%) than males (4.2%). This has been attributed to the fact that a majority of prison officials do not view female-on-female sexual assault as “true rape,” making them less likely to reprimand inmates. Furthermore, as the female prison population has grown at a dramatic rate, states have been unable to keep up. Therefore, female prison facilities tend to be overcrowded and poorly designed, making them difficult to police.

So you're partially correct but it's not because women in prisons are more likely to rape another inmate.
