I don't dispute the numbers but I'd be very interested in the underlying data. Mostly because other studies have put similar claims at anywhere from 25% to 75% depending upon specifically what was being discussed.

I also wish they had put numbers to the claim of over estimation of the casual sex rate among teens.

Don't they have daughters? zipplewrath May 2017 #37

If they did they lacked empathy. I was tall, so they probably thought I was older, pnwmom May 2017 #38

They did present data. I'm not sure what you're saying, exactly. n/t pnwmom May 2017 #4

Might be of interest. I'm not promoting the veracity of the claims. NCTraveler May 2017 #5

Thanks for posting that link oberliner May 2017 #3

The photo is an example of sexual harassment. You couldn't tell that? n/t pnwmom May 2017 #6

It's an odd stock photo oberliner May 2017 #7

There are MANY ways to sexually harass, and inappropriate physical contact is a common way. pnwmom May 2017 #9

I think you are again, confusing "infer" and "imply." LanternWaste May 2017 #14

I thought imply was to suggest and infer was to conclude oberliner May 2017 #17

You are correct Orrex May 2017 #23

Oh ok oberliner May 2017 #25

I haven't found it yet nor, honestly, searched too thoroughly Orrex May 2017 #29

How the hell is it only 90 percent? Orrex May 2017 #16

that was my first thought. niyad May 2017 #22

As a man, I of course have the authority to speak on behalf of all women... Orrex May 2017 #26

Thank you, Orrex. I have never met a woman who couldn't cite examples, starting very young. n/t pnwmom May 2017 #34

I'm more amazed by it almost daily even now. Orrex May 2017 #39
