Science shows that male chimpanzees engage in sexual aggression against females.

Therefore, if one is an atheist, how can they support feminist values and have a problem with rape?

If someone believes that women are created in the image of God, I can see them having a problem with rape. But if one is an atheist, they are free to merely view rape as a "mating strategy" and women as merely "sexual property" who they can rape if it aids them at natural selection.

Your point would be valid if religious folk never acted that way, Catholic priests for example.
