Like most of the other "facts" on this site, it probably ISN'T so.

I noticed Anonymous posting on many of the "facts" throwing "probably" around a lot. This probably isn't true, that probably isn't true. Well I find it PROBABLE that you are a closed minded individual who wants everyone to be as miserable as you. Sure a bunch of this stuff is a load, but hey without something to laugh at everyone would be frowning. Just like you as you read this response.

I am neither miserable nor closed minded. I simply encourage healthy skepticism. If somebody presents something as true that I know ISN'T true, I'm going to say so. Why does that bother you? You can (and obviously do) believe whatever you want.
On the other hand, if I suspect that something isn't true, I'm going to do some research to find out. Sometimes I'm wrong about it, sometimes I'm not. If my research indicates that the "fact" is wrong, I'm going to say so.
And what do you find amusing about people offering false information in the guise of truth? Don't we call that lying? You attack me for calling somebody on their lies; are you as tolerant of politicians when they lie? I was under the impression that most people liked to know the truth about things. Perhaps I was wrong.
But I'm not going to stop calling bologna when I see it.

this is not true. Cambodia has a huge visible sex trade that permeates the country yet you seldom see men. In Thailand, there is a much higher percentage of male sex workers but even there, those numbers don't come anywhere near the numbers of women doing sex work

Yes, but surprisingly Iran leads the world in male prostitutes.
