Honestly, I think basic statistics should be a secondary school subject because the abject failure of most people to understand even basic surveys is pervasive, and it's not like they don't feature in day to day life; government, research, popular media, religion...tons of common topics involve statistics.

Statistics ARE taught in secondary school mathematics.

Unfortunately "loaded questions" are not covered even in Media Studies as part of secondary school English curriculum.

This "study" is nothing more than a media puff piece filler.

How exactly do you propose getting men to answer questions relating to their attitudes to women without asking questions like that?

Yes, unfortunately it's impossible to get a real penis without a man being attached to it. I jest of course.

Well if the choice is Knightly or Kardiganshire I'll take the former, even though she looks like she might break in a breeze.

I thought everybody liked large breasts

- or at least those of us lucky enough to be fed and cuddled by them as babies.

Apparently there is a correlation between liking big breasts and having sexist attitudes. This doesn't have to say anything about you, dear boardsie, any more than statistic about smoking mean a living 90 year old smoker died of cancer when he was younger.

Well judging by the silliness of this particular questionnaire, I honestly don't know. The first question is ambiguous anyway, and a yes answer would not be necessarily sexist. Teasing and hurting are two entirely different things, yet they've lumped the two of them together.

I was pointing out that it was bollocks and was laughing at its credibility. Look at that Scottish independence question - it was changed because of the way it was worded. If there's going to be genuine studies done they need to be simple and clear.

I must be a raging feminazi then cos I don't like large bewbs.

Nice to be an outlier. To be fair I have read something similar before. IIRC it also tended to relate to class and education level. Larger bewb prefs apparently tended to mean less time in formal schooling. Leg men were apparently the more educated and successful types. Again it's nice to be an outlier as the only letters I'm ever likely to have after my name are R.I.P.

EDIT here's another angle http://www.gnxp.com/blog/2008/03/traits-of-men-who-prefer-breasts-booty.php For moby types;

Those who preferred the small figure tend to persevere in their work. They are not cynical about authority and reported coming from an upper-class background. Although the small figure was generally disliked by the present group of subjects (Table 1), it very well may be a preferred type among members of the upper class (Moore, Stunkard, & Srole, 1962) as suggested by the present data.

Oops I'm an outlier yet again. I'm highly cynical of authority and persevere in my work? I'll refer you to my academic achievements aforementioned...

Oh gee, how about by designing a proper scientific survey that asks questions from a neutral position as opposed to deliberately leading questions?

Better questions make for better answers, otherwise you end up with a conclusive theory which supports your original hypothesis that "white Brits like big tits!".

Hardly ground breaking rocket science that's going to win any Nobel prizes any time soon, is it?

The Sun is one of Britain's biggest selling tabloids, Page 3 is practically a British institution.

You hardly need some silly survey to tell you that men find women who look feminine more attractive than androgynous looking women.

Benny_Cake · 15-03-2013 07:50PM

It warms my heart to see that the Daily Mail is so concerned about the objectification of women now. I trust the bikini shots of teenaged girls are a thing of the past?

I'd always steer away from a girl that has the body of a 13 yr old boy. Knightly is hideous IMO.

Scarlett >>>>>> Mila.

Tits don't mean much to me, but she has to have some.

I'd ask you to read the rest of the thread before calling me an insecure little dickhead next time.
Reported.

As yes, the daily mail is an absolute rag/heap of ****e, hence my earlier comment.
Try to look at things from various angles before jumping at me next time?

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm more of a small boob guy myself.

I like touching all the boobies.

Anyway - back to boobs :cool:

CuriousG · 15-03-2013 08:13PM

If you're a male that so much as breathes these days, you still can potentially be labelled 'misogynistic'

PC gone too far, every hetero man likes boobs, all with different preferences, end of story.

They need to ask unambiguous questions. Easier said than done, perhaps, but this questionnaire is absolutely terrible from the little I have seen of it.
