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.

men aren't people to feminist organizations. they are only sources of evil, so if bad things happen to them then they deserved it anyways. there are many feminists who basically think ruining innocent man's life is a 'noble sacrifice' men have to endure as long as rape exists and innocent men are guilty by association of allowing other men to rape women...
