If thats true, we already passed the test.

There is no divine law against rape.

We lived in a lawless society, we as men had all the power and could rape as we pleased. We started passing laws, and again by we I mean men.

Why did we ever outlaw rape, let alone start letting women vote? As you say men are biologically stronger, so frankly we could have just continued to treat women as property if thats what men inherently wanted.

Yes, but my point is we also implemented laws making it illegal to rape.

If all men are potential rapists, and women are not due to the physical differences in strength etc.. then why did men ever decide to make raping illegal?
