http://www.ndcaws.org/harassment/laws.asp In Fiscal Year 2002, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received 14,396 charges of sexual harassment. Almost 15% of those charges were files by males. In a survey of 9,000 clerical and professional women, 92% of the respondents had experienced overt physical harassment, sexual remarks and leering, with the majority regarding this behavior as a serious problem at work. (Kathleen McKinney, Sexual Coercion) Two out of three women surveyed in the military said they had been sexually harassed. (Women’s Legal Defense Fund) In an AAUW survey of eight randomly selected high schools in North Dakota 83% of boys and 93% of girls reported experiencing sexual harassment. (Classrooms & Courtrooms: Facing Sexual Harassment in K-12 Schools) A national study of 222,653 students grade 6-12 found that 81% of girls and 76% of boys reported experiencing sexual harassment in school.

Tool and what? Tool?

there was a brief mention of christians; not enough to merit a claim that christians are being persecuted

Sorry, that was way over my head.

The study you cited is ELEVEN YEARS OLD (September 8, 1996????????), and you expect to be taken remotely seriously??? Good grief; find something CURRENT to talk about. As to your question - I have no idea what "tool and *****" is supposed to mean.

Come off it! Christians are NOT targetted for either harassment or persecution in the USA. Do you really think that Jewish and Muslim and Hindu and Sikh and Buddhist women don't get sexually harassed? Do you imagine that abusers of power focus their perversions exclusively on Christian women? There has NOT been an increase in the number of sexual harassment cases . There has been an increase only in the number of REPORTED sexual harassment cases, and that is because the government and the law (and employers too) are stepping on harassers these days. People are therefore more comfortable about coming forward with complaints. You are using credible sources to fabricate non-sequitur evidence, and your stats are misleading—I think deliberately so. Two can play that game! Women are twice as likely to develop breast cancer as men are to develop prostate cancer. People with the most birthdays have the longest lives. By the way, I'm a Christian myself, and I was an elected union officer for over 25 years. I supported many women through sexuall harassment allegations, and I have a wife and a daughter.

You are giving statistics that have nothing to do with any faith based belief, at least the ones you have listed - what am I missing? Your question is? Are you asking if Christians are being persecuted? This reads 'sexual harassment'. [I did not visit the website]

The missing word is "b * ner" (insert an o)... I get the RSS feed and it was in the title. Still no clue what the heck it means, LOL!
