The image shows a protest scene with multiple people holding signs. In the foreground, a woman in a pink coat is holding a large cardboard sign with a message written in black and red marker. The sign reads: "WHY DOES EVERY WOMAN KNOW ANOTHER WOMAN THAT WAS RAPED BUT NO MAN KNOWS A RAPIST?" The background features other protesters, some holding signs with messages related to rape and sexual assault awareness. The setting appears to be an outdoor gathering, possibly a rally or demonstration, with a grassy area and trees visible in the background. The atmosphere suggests a serious and focused event centered around raising awareness about sexual violence.

I mean Iโ€™m in the demographic of this, I know no rapist. Also if I were hypothetically a rapist I wouldnโ€™t tell anybody, not even friends, while a woman that has been raped is in her right to speak up for a bunch of reasons.

We do. But we either understand that speaking out about will have harsh social consequences, or we're told by his women friends that "he couldn't, he would never," or we are told "every accusation is a confession," which is often true, but some accusation/confessions are worse than others.

Every man does know a rapist. More likely multiple. Every man knows another man who says things like 'grab em by the pussy'. They just make excuses for him.

Bullshit.

Sorry, you really just let yourself down to the niveau of the people doing and justifying all this shit with your hostile generalization. You really don't help anyone by spreading such bullshit.

80% of rapes are committed by 20% or rapists. A relatively small number of serial rapists commit most of the acts of sexual violence.
That being said, I'm sure every guy does know one. They may not know they know one, but...

because rape is a sociopathic, vicious and shameful act. All men know this but that doesn't stop them. However, the rapist will then go to great lengths to justify his cruelty. Both to himself and more rarely to others.

At the risk of sounding flippantโ€ฆ honestly, I think itโ€™s because the weโ€™re not of interest to the rapist so they have no need to reveal themselves to us. If you know someone is a rapist and youโ€™re not a rapist yourself then - I believe - itโ€™s more likely you know because they attacked you or someone you know and the victim told you.

Males and men are not monolithic in that sense. We arenโ€™t confessionals for each other. Or maybe they donโ€™t confess to me?

The words in black and red marker leave me breathless, then gasping, then crying. Why have I never asked myself this question before?
