This graph doesn't make sense to me. Why none of the percentages add up to 100%. How can 62 percent of women choose a genre, but then 80 percent choose another? please help

It's impossible to know for sure without the source. But I suspect that respondents were asked to list more than one genre as their favorite (e.g. "What is your favorite movie genre? (Choose 3)".
