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.

At that age young men usually have no concept of violence rooted in reality at any significant numbers. So they assume young girls their ages mostly don't experience violence while thinking violence is the thing from movies and they are ready to dole that out for things that they don't agree with because they think they can change the world overnight at any price.

So asking this group of people is a challenge in of itself. The data and questions are missing, so I call incitement here in service of distracting from the class war and call it a day.

Maybe call the class war the Epstein wars in the future, I think it has a ring to it.
