Support for violence to resist feminism was highest among adolescent boys (28%), followed closely by adolescent girls (21%).
Perhaps most alarming: roughly 40% of boys aged 13 to 17 agreed that women lie about domestic and sexual violence.
These results raise crucial questions going forward. We don’t yet know how these views have changed over time, whether they are on the rise and what the links are between violent extremism and the negative treatment of women.
What exactly were the questions that they were asking and how are they phrased? Were they asking if these boys believed some of the accusations were false, did they ask if they thought most of them were false? Did they ask if they thought that women in general would lie about an assault?
There’s a ton of nuance in a study like this that they don’t even go into.
