Original Note:
The graphic has three major errors: It assumes one-rape-per-rapist. Nearly 1/5 of women have been raped but only 6% of men are rapists. It overstates unreported rapes. RAINN estimates that 54% of rapes go unreported. It conflates false reports with false accusations. https://slate.com/human-interest/2013/01/the-enliven-project-s-false-rape-accusations-infographic-great-intentions-but-it-isn-t-accurate.html
