I'm sure the women the guidance counselors are speaking to are the ones who need the most guidance, and I'm sure the counselors have seen a jump in student e-thottery, a jump large enough to make his mother say "nearly every girl."
You need to let go of the rhetorical incidentals and get to what the mother was actually saying: "We've seen a jump in student e-thottery that has us alarmed."
See? Quit applying linear math to a network visibility problem.
US demographics: Female, 15–24, 21,137,826, or 2.11 million 18-year-old females. 450K is 21% of that.
Now consider how many females are on other e-thot sites.
Now consider how many girls joined, held out for 2-3 months, and quit (probably completely creeped out). In other words, that 450K is a rolling total.
Are you still sure about your math here?
