How this post really reads:

Let's say I want to have sex with a 14 year-old girl, and pay her parents $10K. Blah blah blah the girl is not victimized blah blah she really benfits from this too blah blah really, I swear blah blah. The girl agrees, as do both of her parents. Should I do it? And does your opinion matter to me or are you female?

The guy who asked this is basically asking if it's okay for parents to prostitute out their child.

Churchill: Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds? Socialite: My goodness, Mr. Churchill… Well, I suppose… we would have to discuss terms, of course… Churchill: Would you sleep with me for five pounds?
Socialite: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?! Churchill: Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.

this is weird considering females are a considerably less respondent subsection, as well as tend to agree substantially more than males, which is certainly an odd statistical anomaly. You would think it would only be no in response, but this is also twitter, so maybe people were just shitposting?

Try reading "Delusions of Gender" by Cordelia Fine.

yeah, that's why i'm saying that it's weird that they're different response groups. I can see why more men responded, but unless trolling it doesn't really explain the variations all that much, but then again it could just be bad sample sizing, stats data collection is hard.
