Nice quip. I don't recal actually taking a position in the matter, just mentioning that an inference of that sort given the data provided could be made.
Second, an inference not equivilent to an assumption. They are similar, in that they are both guesses, but the similarity ends there. An assumption is a guess on a pre-existing criterium prior to performing an exercise or computation that produces a data set. The better the assumptions made, the better the data set will be. An inference is a deduction based on a given data set. The more complete and accurate a data set is, the better deductions can be made from that set.
I did say that they were over broad generalizations, but given 1) the comment of the woman and 2)general Amercian comfort level talking about sex, that that deduction could be made. Never did I pass judgement on that position though, though one could be implied by my tone of response .... and what did you say about assumptions?
Actually, it would be an inference.
Finally since you seem to want to expose the hypocracy of those that cry tolerance. Tolerating an idea is not the same as acception the idea. It is just accepting that other ideas have the right to exist. I accept her right to her position. I just find her comment about viewing the content with her husband would be embarassing interesting.
