IQ is just an example. We also have questions about moral beliefs. We have questions about how likely you find various risks.

At this stage the results wouldn't be conclusive but they would increase the grasp I would have on the issue. Having a question on the LW survey wouldn't give the same level of detail as a in depth study, but it would be an improvement.

I'd like more research on the subject-- I suspect that local culture makes a huge difference.

I think the local culture question is one of the questions that interests me most. Should I expect that this is an issue for the woman I meet in daily life, given that I live in Germany? Women like my sister don't bring the issue up, even in discussions about the value of feminism.

I know a bunch of women through the internet who report being troubled by street harassment and those don't live in Germany. Given the reports of those woman, I do think that the issue is serious.
