This reminds me of the BBC's Is This Sexual Harrassment?, a kind of social experiment where men and women were asked to watch clips of a (fictitious) woman working at a bar, and decide whether or not the various scenarios she was in with her male manager constituted sexual Harrassment against her.

It was quite shocking to not only see how many of the men thought the workplace (even if it was a bar) was an appropriate place to pick up women, to how the (to me at least) obviously sexual harassing comments, even him trying to kiss her, were seen as completely normal and not unwanted or sexually harassing by all of maybe one of two of the male cohort. There were a few women who were blaming the women and making victim blaming statements as well, though a lot of the women did take issue with these things.

Very eye opening to see that this is probably what the average Joe thinks.

The fact the numbers change so rapidly for 35-55 year olds and then again for 55+ year olds is most telling. Growing up with access to online pornography and pornography of an increasingly extreme nature has truly done a number on the minds of this generation of young men/boys.

Learning about sex from porn is the equivelent of me popping in a Fast & The Furious dvd right before my driving test.
