Well ... if they are male chances of liking porn and guns are so high that you shouldn't bother searching.
And in the last 10 years the notion that everybody is a freak in his numerous personal ways began to take hold anmog the populace. But the institutions became more easily offended and prude.
But I suppose with the inevitable dieout of the current gen of employers the next just won't bother with searching ... it will be like - why bother - I will find crap for everyone.
There are lots of guys who don't like guns. I've only lived in a few liberal US cities so maybe my perception is skewed, but I (as a Canadian) thought the gun-loving american stereotype largely represented a minority.
Disclaimer - I am a foreigner not living in US so I use the most reliable sources to educate myself about US culture - Jon Steward and Stephen Colbert.
By liking I was referring in the way most guys also like powerful cars or F1. Or battleships, planes, carriers, ICBM and the Death Star. They are outstanding pieces of engineering combining some of the best thoughts of some of the smartest people on the planet.
Sadly because it seems in the last 15 years the US Congress is the place where moderate opinions and sanity go to die, due to the wild partisanship and the toxic pollution coming out of the media and the ability of everyone to be outraged about everything all the time the moderate voices have hard time being heard, or even existing because they are pushed to the extremes.
I'm pretty sure the prevalence if guns in almost all forms of pop culture skewed at males is really good market evidence that the majority of them do indeed like guns. (What's the last action movie, video game or toy store you saw that didn't have a gun, or some representation of a gun, in some form?)
Exactly, I would assume it's probably higher than 40%.
There are an estimated 270M civilian-owned guns and 132M households in the US. So basically 2 guns per household. If you estimate gun ownership at 50%, that's 4 guns per gun-owning household.
I've seen the number for "civilian owned guns" reported as being much higher, more like 310M. Not sure which number is most accurate, and it's entirely possible that none of them are, since we have no central firearms registry. But I would guess that the actual percentage of homes with at least one gun is higher than 40%.
or society becomes more and more self censoring if your thesis was true we should seen a decline in say drug testing for standard non sensitive jobs already.
Drugs are illegal. The fact that the war on drugs is waged disproportionally towards the poor does not make them legal in the places and social classes where it is relatively safe to get stoned.
But see what happened with nudity and the stigma. Once a nipple slip was a big deal. Nowadays a celebrity sex tape is welcomed with boredom. And there is hardly a person without someone else voluntarily sent naked pic on the smartphone. And when they leak it is usually meh
