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.
Yeah I’m curious how it was asked.
Cause of course women get abused that 100% is true, but there are definitely some women who lie about it. How many? Who knows. I would like to say only a few but I have no data to support it, I can only say it’s most likely non-zero.
It’s not “most likely” non-zero, it’s definitely non-zero.
At the same time, there have been quite a few high-profile cases where the women used relevant laws to cause misery to others.
Because in those cases, even if the defender ends up as not-guilty, he still most probably loses a job and more.
There is a fundamental problem with how the laws made for these things are executed.
They end up being inadequate to help enough of the vulnerable women (corresponding to unreported cases) and at the same time, too powerful to prevent malicious use (corresponding to fake cases).
You just have to look at places like this - an accusation is proof of guilt to many in here, and not even a not guilty verdict or the charges being dropped will convince them otherwise.
Accusations alone are life destroying. The system needs to change. Everyone involved should remain anonymous until and unless a guilty verdict is reached in a criminal case.
For civil cases imo it should remain anonymous even if there is a guilty verdict because the bar for a guilty verdict is woefully low.
I don’t see anonymity as a big help in this case.
That just makes us have to believe that regular people want bad for other people, while those in high governmental positions care more of the truthful outcome.
While in reality, we also require the people to know how well the governmental processes are being executed, to prevent anyone from shirking responsibility.
It helps men not be branded as and treated like rapists based solely on an unproven accusation.
My point is that people need to understand the difference between alleged vs convicted.
Considering how police tends to treat everyone as convicts, adding more fog will just make their shenanigans easier.
