      The fact that within the first minute and a half she cites Alfred Kinsey, the man behind sexual assault and rape of children (including infants), reveals that she obviusly has not done the research behind anything she is citing. His "data" is absolute trash and meaningless and if you have learned anything about research, it's that poor methodology or a meaningless data source reveals absolutely nothing.
      The overt sexualization of children is abhorrent and it is why child sexual abuse and assault is on the rise.

The rest of her presentation was fine, but I don’t see why it was necessary to include that video, as it could have just been described verbally. I didn’t immediately skip over it as I truly thought surely they weren’t going to really show it, but after overcoming the shock of watching a few seconds into it, I had to skip it. I’m still a bit shaken up over it. No animal should be sexually abused/assaulted by humans, nor should it be normalized or even legal. Anyone who thinks that what was done to that pig (or other animals) is ok is seriously sick in the head.

      She handled it intelligently, with a bit of humor, and she did not talk down to the audience. And she smiled fairly often.
