Men do get abused, and that should be talked about in a program of education. One thing you say is factually wrong. Physical abuse of women by men is a way, way bigger problem than physical abuse of men by women. There is a straightforward reason for that: males are far stronger than females, from about the age of 11. It's not a level playing field.
I do agree that teaching mutual respect should be part of these programs. Not everyone will agree with me, but I think that girls specifically need to be taught that they mature faster than boys and have a responsibility to use that to avoid being in risky situations with boys.
