40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research (theconversation.com)

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.

The OP didn’t link to a peer-reviewed well-designed study. They linked to a “news” article that purports to relay the information from the study, but no doubt presents much of it out of context and to an audience who lack the expertise to really understand it.

I was referring to men vs. women, or gays vs. straights, or residents vs. immigrants, or any one of the hundred other arbitrary divisions being constantly foisted onto us.

The study may well be measuring these divisions, or their effects, but that’s not my point at all.

The Conversation is a well known resource for highly-factual and unbiased wording and phrasing in their material.

Trying to frame them as a culture war peddler throwing "men vs. women" divisions to stoke flames is some bullshit.

Peak comment. Did you RTA? Because it does the opposite of what you propose, no factual evidence, and largely biased language.

So...? We're just supposed to take their word that the sky isn't blue because in the past they've said the the sky is blue?
