These statistics are true, men indeed are more likely to commit these crimes. However, the problem with these kind of statistics is that they actually don't tell you a lot despite being highly suggestive.
Considering rape and sex offences, a big problem is that in US-law, it is very difficult to charge a woman with these offences, as the definition of rape makes it very difficult for women to actually rape men. Furthermore, the interest in actually convict a female perpetrator of these crimes is very low.
You have a similar problem in Europe when it comes to rape statistics in Sweden - this country has a very general definition of rape and people are encouraged to report a rape, so you have way more rape cases than in the rest of Europe. Without context, this makes Sweden look like a "rapist's paradise" compared to other European countries which is used by right-extremists very often.
Considering murder, robbery and arson, there is not much to argue against. Your numbers are likely true and point to something. The problem is that these statistics almost always come without concrete numbers - a murderer is likely to be male, but it's fallacious to assume that a man is likely to be a murderer. In fact, there are very few male murderers, compared to the total population, so "being male" is clearly a risk factor. But the low percentage of male murderers amonst male people tells you that you have to take other risk factors into account before drawing conclusions from these numbers because gender alone is a very weak predictor. It is even possible that there are determinants that occur in the 13% of female murderers and the 87% of male murderers and that are a higher predictor of murder than gender alone. These kind of memes exploit the human bias to believe that correlation implies causation, which is also used by racists that use similar statistics to "prove" that the average black person is a criminal.
