47. The writer appears to have attempted to aggregate data from worldwide statistics.

The statement doesn't specifically say American women. The exact wording is:

"80% of females"

And it doesn't designate an exact location.

But I understand how easy it is to misread, have presuppositions, and generalize information across assumptions, especially when the subject is the emotionally charged subject discussed here.

Thanks for sharing the additional information.

❤️
