It's really not. If a rapist rapes several women, there's a 1xN distribution. Then they think they did nothing wrong, so they won't mention they raped someone, but that they had some fun with someone, if you don't know them well you might think they meant they had a date which what normal people do.

So, less perpetrators than victims and perpetrators either don't think they did it or they know and don't say it. It's normal for regular men not to know. I'm a man and I know of victims, not perpetrators.

This is the problem with the entire claim. Of course most men don't know rapists, in the same way that I don't know most jewel thieves, I assume they don't admit it to me.

There is one guy who I am highly suspicious of, but I have zero actual evidence other than the fact he's a really creepy dude. But I can hardly go to the police with that can I. So maybe I know one possible rapist.
