One in 200 Pregnant Women Claim They Didn't have sex

I know we are big on abstinence only sex education but at least they should cover what sex is before they tell you not to do it.

Might lead to dancing.

It'd be a lot more interesting if they were giving birth to 100% females, and it turns out humans were capable of parthogenesis.

Unfortunately, all the article indicates is that humans are capable of the shittiest, most obvious lies, which is not, strictly speaking, a news story.

What I take out of this is that 1 in 200 people are really, really stupid.  Which is a severe underestimate.

No, dumbass.  The study was specifically about women.  You can't draw any conclusions about men from it.

I started to say something along the lines of "Thank God you're not teaching stats" but you teaching English has to be almost as bad.

Since women are equal in intelligence to men, if 1 in 200 women are that stupid than so are 1 in 200 men.

Are you stupid? Men have a greater spread than women.

Believe me, there are plenty of women who've had a penis inside them who can ask with varying degrees of justification, "You call THAT sex?"

Everybody's a critic.

It reminds me of a line from a movie "I risked getting pregnant for that!"

I did what I could with what I was given.

Of those 1 in 200, I'd guess a significant portion are just teenage girls.

So there are probably more men that are that stupid. Assuming a flatter bell curve.

Doesn't necessarily work like that.

Exactly.

Here's the study itself.

Conclusions Around 0.5% of women consistently affirmed their status as virgins and did not use assisted reproductive technology, yet reported virgin births. Even with numerous enhancements and safeguards to optimize reporting accuracy, researchers may still face challenges in the collection and analysis of self reported data on potentially sensitive topics.

So, 0.5% of women are really nuts. Shouldn't that be higher?
