Everyone who uses statistics skews them for their own purposes. I chose to ignore statistics entirely. Anyone who wants to can do a survey, or find a statistic that suits their argument. How the questions are asked, or the statistical grouping is done, and literaly dozens of other factors can be adjusted to get the desired outcame, without actually faking the statistics or lying. In order to evaluate a statistic's validity, you must know all these other factors as well, which unless you are on the inside, you never get to see.

i imagine some do. I also imagine some distort them contained in the alternative route. There are human beings of each political persuasion who will distort the info to convey human beings to their area. in spite of the indisputable fact that, feminism isn't about declaring that adult adult males are evil and women anybody is sufferers. it really is only stupid and by no skill real. Yeah, some adult adult males abuse women human beings. some women human beings abuse adult adult males. some women human beings and some adult adult males abuse toddlers. Why concentration on who does what extra commonly? shouldn't the purpose be to get rid of all of those sorts of abuse? Numbers do not mean a lot; any celebration of abuse, no count number who's being abused and who's doing the abusing, is undesirable and deserving of our interest. Gosh. *Edit* nicely suggested Soldier4Christ. it is also real.
