    A survey among Americans of all ages found that 58% of people have watched porn at some point in their lives.

    Always click a word like "survey".

    It links to https://ifstudies.org/blog/how-prevalent-is-pornography "How Prevalent Is Pornography?" on a website called IFS.

    • First of all NERDS, do not even start thinking about bash shell scripts. In this case IFS stands for Institute for Family Studies
    • Basically every sentence on this page sounds like fake dishonest bullshit but I'm sure no one here needs that 'splained
    • Lead author is "Daniel Cox" @dcoxpolls which you gotta admit is a great username
    • IFS seems to strongly prefer its "people" have names which lend themselves to sex jokes
    • Despite this, Cox has apparently been cancelled or something because he's not even listed.
    • But his presence is felt on the employee list who's names either are or almost are: Wang, Wilcox, Self, Stones, Lapp, VerBugger, Kokmesir, Hymenitz, DatRose, Strokes, and Leerman.
    • It seems he is now employed as Director at Survey Center on American Life, a project of AEI (American Enterprise Institute). His page there doesn't even list the IFS as a past employer so I'm sure there is a very slightly salacious but ultimately pathetic story there.

    IFS somehow manages to trudge along without Dick Cock Poll:

    • it is explicitly

      • MRA,
      • anti divorce,
      • anti woman.
      • I'm sure we can make some educated guesses about the rest of it.
    • They are involved somehow in Prager U.

    • They are in favor of religion and prayer.

    • One of the 2 items listed under the "Projects" menu item is "Get married":

      Show

    • Their donation page does not even allow anything less than $100

    • They are also clearly in favor of the legal changes the "news" article is covering.

    The only thing I could find on this website which wasn't overtly evil is one PDF from 2016 saying you shouldn't yell at kids.

    But it's not all bad news! They are hiring! sounds like the job is memelord. The position reports to Wang and works closely with Wilcox. Unfortunately you must relocate to Charlottesville VA. I assume you must have some sort of dickjoke name to apply.

    "news reporter" Gage Goulding who wrote this should be ashamed of himself despite his lofty credentials of "he covered some of the areas [sic] most important stories, including Hurricane Ian"
