[quote=Anonymous]the article does not address anything about confounding factors, such as context in which statements were pulled or if they were only provided as brief snippets from magazines and sex offender testimony.  If I had to bet, you could take snippets from a women's sexual liberation book from your local hippie bookstore and pull quotes out of there too that the casual observer would not be able to distinguish from the sex offender statements.

It brings to light a very important issue that exists in our printed magazines-- but you also need to explore the deeper context in how people interpret something found in a "male" magazine versus the testimony of known criminals.

You could draw a correlation to the way kids kill other people on combat video games and the way a soldier would recount stories of combat.  It might be very hard to distinguish which story is from a game and which is real life, especially since kids often talk about getting "head shots", etc...  A lot of how we interpret and understand things has to do with context, and there is no discussion of this in the article.  [/quote]
