Sure, but my point is that there's nothing core to liberalism that demands it. That many liberals do so to varying degrees, is not the same thing as saying it's part of being liberal/moderate.
It's like saying that progressives are Marxist. The are progressives that are Marxist, and many more that argue for some of it's core principles, but it's not core to the ideology.

Yes, I know that, but too many people who cited these studies then claimed specifically that 1 in 4 were raped as though it was the same thing, only to cry foul when moderates pointed out correctly that that's not what the studies said.
