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.

    It’s the sad reality of our times that many people would prefer to spend their time virtue signalling and circlejerking about how they’re not part of a problem than actually contribute to finding and implementing a solution.

      Yup, and anyone who actually tries to find a solution makes themself vulnerable to ridicule, scorn, and accusations when they inevitably fail.

      Much safer just to stand on the sidelines and point the finger. Nobody blames the people who never even tried. The people who tried and failed take all the blame.

      It’s really short-sighted if you think about it…
