Skimming the article, a bizarre statistical quirk appears...69% of women play
with a "romantic partner", while only 16% of men do.

So who the hell are the partners the additional 53% of women are playing
with? Shouldn't the two numbers for the two sexes be nearly identical? Are
52% of the women lesbians, 26% playing with the other 26%?

More likely this shows the invalidity of the entire survey, because the
voters are self-selecting, and a different kind of female chooses to waste
his time taking the survey than male. My wife not only wouldn't take it, but
(she's quite controlling, and our greatest source of tension is that I cannot
be controlled) she actually complained that I was wasting time when she saw
me taking it.
