Male Privilege

[JoePhilly]

366. The poll question could not be wored in a much more biased manner.

Let's examine the question

"Has America fully expunged itself from all forms of male privilege in society"?

There are 2 phrases dripping with "response bias" crammed into this rather short question.

Let's examine "response biased" phrase $#1: "fully expunged". The word "fully" makes the desired response (that desired by the person asking the question) obvious. Rarely is anything "fully expunged". And so for one to response YES, would mean that they are fairly sure no one can provide an example, ANY EXAMPLE where the thing is not "fully expunged". Therefore, the only answer to this question can be NO.

Now let's examine "response biased phrase #2: "All forms". This phrase basically repeats the first biased phrase, and reinforces it. It flat out says, "All forms". Which means, if you can find even one example. ANY EXAMPLE, the answer to the question must be NO.

There are 2 basic reasons why some one creates a poll question with this level or response bias built into it.

#1: The have no idea how to write OBJECTIVE poll questions.
#2: They had an intended out come for the poll question.

Not sure which of these applies to the owner of this poll.
