macbeth seems to spend worrying amounts of time per day watching the kitchen-sink scuzz and prurient shite of the internet. his mind is the container for a whole mental RSS feed of shit and depravity. it's like his little niche, he gets off on it.
you don't need a fancy infographic to point out that hardly any rape cases go to trial, let alone prosecution. it's probably the worst crime in all of the legal system to enforce. it's extremely hard to determine subjective and circumstantial 'consent'. most rapes are within friend groups or families, so it is fraught with difficulties in prosecution - most 'victims' drop the charges without allowing the police or prosecution service to follow it up.
oh and i have a female friend who got 'raped' at university, and i'm pretty much of the opinion it was bs. she got drunk and slept with someone she regretted / someone that complicated things in her friend group. she cried wolf on the rape, and the university went into maximum-alert damage control mode: moved her out of her dorm, into a separate private residence, gave her counseling, had a police 'rape squad' come around and do medical examinations on her-- everything. i think she ended up dropping the charges shortly after the initial wtf-omg-emergency, when she realized what a dumb mistake she had made. poor guy tbh. one drunken night and he's getting serious crime allegations thrown at him. it's little anecdotal events like that, which drives up the 'official rape crime' statistics.
