Does anyone else think this is disgustingly ignorant?

Yes. From the study, a few things I find noteworthy.

Eighty-six male college students received extra credit for their participation.

86 at one college is a sample study we are basing the accusations against roughly 3 billion people? Excellent, I must tell the nazis and the KKK.

The hostility toward women scale (Check 1985) assesses hostile, negative, and resentful feelings participants might hold against women. This scale consists of 22 items, specifically addressing male hostility against females, such as: ‘‘I feel that many women flirt with men just to tease them and hurt them’’ or ‘‘I am easily angered by women.’’

Let me point that out again.

I feel that many women flirt with men just to tease them and hurt them

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT HOSTILITY

The survey concluded with part of the attraction to sexual aggression scale ( Malamuth 1989a,b). This scale measures self-reported likeli- hood to engage in a variety of sexual behaviors ‘‘if nobody would ever know and there wouldn’t be any consequences’’ for the participants

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT RAPE

Rape REQUIRES consequences, EVERYTHING REQUIRES CONSEQUENCES YOU MORONS. I just can't take this study seriously! HOW THE FUCK DO THEY COME TO A CONCLUSION THAT 3/4 OF MEN ARE RAPISTS WHEN THE QUESITON IS THAT VAGUE AND OPEN TO INTERPRETATION.

All in all, a very poor study considering a small sample size, a lack of reasonable quesitons, and a extreme bias in the hypothesis. I would, however, prefer to see the survey. Shit.

I'm thrilled, because this pre-study is actually kicking off a bigger study. The bigger study will either be completely biased and easily exposed or will prove this pre-study wrong. By the way, it's common for these small studies to be done to test the waters to see if a larger study needs to be done, but the big issue is the amount of attention it is getting from the media.

There are also issues with the pre-study itself, but I REALLY get nervous when I see the name "Koss" being referenced as you can see from the study in this link: http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/pdf/10.1089/vio.2014.0022

One last objection I'll make is that in some of their summaries of why they got what they got, I thought they really jumped to conclusions, but each person can make their own decision on that.

Yes it is. Utterly nonsensical. And so is their grammar!
