[QUOTE="blackribbon, post: 74237868, member: 298417"] Enough of them. I haven't actually talked to all of them. .0006% of the US population is hardly a good sample to determine how all US women feel. Not without a lot more definitions of what people were sampled. If you sampled 2000 people from Detroit, MI you would likely get an entirely different result than 2000 people from Dallas, TX. How were the people polled chosen? Did the people polled volunteer or were they solicitated? What number of people rejected completing the poll? A survey needs to include this information for it to be taken seriously. Again, this survey doesn't even identify how many women or men were surveyed. It is hardly a "good" predictor of how women in the US feel as it stands. Maybe the actual study has information which prove it to be a good sampling or not a good sampling...but what we have access to is very lacking in evidence to show that it is a study worth considering. Look around you and see how many biased surveys are published on almost a daily basis. A survey is only as good as its methods and sample. (and I think it is odd that 1/2 of those surveyed were identified as minority women then the numbers were manipulated down to represent those opinions as a real representation of their percentages in the real general population.) That sounds like a lot of manipulating and not having a fair representation of non-minority women and of all men. [/QUOTE]
