So let's follow up w/some more data related to #sbcreport. All publicly available @PRRIpoll data. In 2017, we see across groups, white evangelical Baptist men were disproportionately more likely to say recent reports of workplace assault/harassment were "isolated incidents." 1/5

In a 2018 @PRRIpoll survey, we see that across groups, white evangelical Baptist men were most likely to agree that "most sexual harassment claims are just the result of misunderstanding between women and men." In other words, not REALLY sexual harassment. Just a whoops. 2/5

Other surveys can't get us to #SBC folks, but we do see patterns among evangelicals vs. others. In 2018 @PRRIpoll data, evangelicals were the MOST likely to say the #MeToo movement led to unfair treatment of men & LEAST likely to say it helped address sexual assault. Also... 3/5

In that same @PRRIpoll survey, when adults were asked how well churches have responded to issues of sexual assault, evangelicals are by far the group MOST likely to say churches (assuming their own) have done very/somewhat well & LEAST likely to say "not well at all." So... 4/5

Combined with the original Tweet from last night, there are numerous data points suggesting evangelicals broadly were skeptical of #MeToo & overconfident in their own response, while WE Baptist men in particular are most likely to minimize/deny sexual assault/harassment. 5/5 #SBC
