That's what I was saying, basically. If you want a more accurate idea of what men are about, you need to ask all of them, and even then, there are factors that could affect the answers, not to mention those who might intentionally answer differently than they feel, just "for fun." But another problem is the questions. Not only what's being asked, but how is each question asked? You can ask one person the same question two or more different ways, and get two or more different answers. And then there's gender. The majority of men identify themselves as men. But what about men (physically) who feel they're "women trapped in men's bodies"? Or don't feel they're fully a man or fully a woman? What about women who feel the opposite? What about those who have had gender surgery to become male or female? Who gets to be designated a man for this survey? These are all things that can affect the outcome of the survey. Additionally, the author may interpret the answers differently than those who took the survey meant.
