And you're ignoring self-selection and rhetorical exaggeration.
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?

I believe the message is, "When in clown world: suck the clown tongue, bigot!"
The Breitbart article: “We thought, what a better way to convey our values than by portraying an all-encompassing kiss between Burger King and McDonald. We wanted to show that in the end, love always wins.”
I'm bisexual, and this is unspeakably nauseating.

and punishing people who were related to Germany only by culture and had lived in Czechoslovakia for generations.
... You mean, by race. And language. And the Sudeten Germans themselves agitated to belong to the Greater German Reich. They got what they asked for.
I think one of the big issues is, at least at present, the right is made up of more individualistic people and ideals.
No, I think it's because conservatives literally conserve, and they have not created a path forward, toward individual rights. Ever since the Left jumped on the Socialist/Communist bandwagon, America has been deprived of an innovating voice in public policy.
You must be kidding.
We could fund the entire arms industry by just making sure our riflemen, artillery and fighter/bomber pilots have enough training (which expends ammo and wears out planes and other vehicles). As it is, they're probably at 60% of recommended training as I type this.
If BK or McD's put ads in The Advocate, or in a gay neighborhood, with gay or lesbian couples sitting in their restaurants doing cute PDAs (like playing the Pocky game, only with a french fry), I would not mind one bit.
Imagine a pictorial ad with a man and a woman taking kids to a fast food joint. You have no idea where the kids came from. It's not relevant. For all you know, that's not a family, that's a guy and his female (platonic) roommate, or girlfriend, taking the neighbor kids who raked his yard for $10 out to a restaurant as a thank you for doing such a good job.
That's because SEX IS NOT THE POINT OF THAT AD.
Even the first ad I mentioned is not sexual because you don't know they're gay. It could be two straight guys acting out a dare, or two straight girls. SEX IS NOT THE POINT.
Given that advertising works best when the person seeing the ad can project his own psyche on the ad, this is a good general rule to follow.
The BK ad above is breaking all those rules. Sex is the point. And it is political pandering, pure and simple.
