You are right, surveys are difficult to put together and the language
can almost always be misconstrued; as we are finding out regarding
the any language in any legal document.
But the "appropriate" question you write above is way too vague. Taken
at face value, I believe that women should have the right to choose which
restaurant they want to solicit; but I dont think women have the right
to choose whether they will yell fire in a movie theatre if a fire
doesnt exist just to watch the ensuing panic.
I am not sure a survey would be worth the time to put it together.
It seems to me that people are just not very tolerant anymore. They lack
the compassion to understand other peoples feelings and beliefs, and
instead want to force their opinion on everyone else.
Just my $.02 worth.
