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.

    Alright, I’ve evidently written my comment with poor phrasing.

    It was supposed to be a joke at the expense of guys who think “all women are liars” being the guys who are the type to commit sexual assault in the first place.

      I don’t think any guys say “all women are liars.” That’s certainly not the claim in this article, although it’s presented as if to indicate that misleadingly.

        I’ve met misogynists who will make explicit claims like “all women are liars”

        In any case, I know it wasn’t the claim of the article, it was supposed to be a joke (also at the expense of the ambiguity of the title)
