Anyone familiar with what passes for statistics within feminism will not be surprised by the willful corruption of data. An underlying assumption of data-manipulators is that people are too stupid to notice the sleight-of-hand. The media exacerbates the problem by not asking the most basic questions about statistics, even ones with surprising conclusions. For example, journalists rarely ask, "What is the margin of error?" or "Does the average reflect a mean or a median?" Public schools contribute their share by failing to teach the fundamentals of statistical analysis.
