ORIGINAL: Silence8
Not all (or arguably even most) phenomena, especially human phenomena, can even be approached using statistics in its present form.
The more interesting point is that statistical phenomena themselves often (if not always) contain as much general error as, gasp!, generalizations.
As usual, your retreat to 'don't generalize' comes down to a not-so-subtle ethical imperative of 'Don't think! Obey! Enjoy!'
There you go again, retreating back to your "Everyone is a non-thinker" routine.
A more appropriate response would have been to try to understand what i meant, rather than making silly assumptions.
A question like "Do you think the study of human behavior is a valid science?" might have been good. Or how about "What aspects of gender differences do you think might be appropriate for statistical analysis?" Or perhaps "Which areas of human behavior do you believe can be approached using statistics?"
But of course, that never occurred to you. You're more interested in telling people your "truth", and in name calling. It never enters your mind to assume that somebody other than yourself might actually have a brain, and to engage them in dialogue, rather than dismissing them offhand as your intellectual inferior.
Despite what you may think about the people here, most of them are very intelligent. Many of them (including myself) have just as many (or more) degrees than you do. Additionally, many here have extensive education in areas other than philosophy. You seem to think this is a philosophy discussion board, so you still miss the point that this is a BDSM board with a diverse population with extremely diverse experiences and perspectives on BDSM issues.
One day, you'll come to realize this, and you'll try having a conversation with the other people on the board. So far, all i've seen you do is tell them how wrong they all are, quote a bunch of dead guys, and then accuse us of being non-thinkers without even acknowledging even the slightest valid point that we may have made. You also seldom seek to understand the opinions and perspectives of others. That, to me, is the most "anti-intellectual" thing that one can do. Contemplate that for a moment.
I've tired of your schtick. let's just agree to disagree, and ignore one another. That will probably be the most civilized thing that we can do. Have a wonderful life.
(The sad thing is that you seem like a reasonably intelligent guy. If you would have learned to have a conversation, rather than lecturing, it might have even been interesting. But your poorly developed social skills don't allow you to see yourself as others see you. You don't realize how condescending you are in your approach. Someday, when you have more life experience, you'll realize this).

RE: Maledom relationships vs. Femdom relationships - 
Profile
You have stated before that you know better than other people do what they are thinking and feeling and experiencing in their relationships, even though you've never met or talked with them. Whenever someone expresses that your fantasy bubble has nothing to do with their reality, you accuse them of being incapable of thought, or of oppressing your philosophical bent.
