This is a good read

@DrPetra:

Toby Young doesn’t like the sexualisation report very much blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/to…

Pros:

  • Does identify the leaps and bounds made for sexual offenses in the past 20 years. (rape now includes penetration of the mouth) if however ignoring the sloppily written bits (will not get into now).
  • Does show that domestic violence has gone down in the past 20 years: yay!
  • Does show the report is a load of nonsense.

Cons:

  • Discrediting a researcher should not include their choice of specialist subject in some reality tv quiz.

Edit:

Have the Guardian’s slightly more moderate feeling (but more constructive) take on this:
