'New research: 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence'

A recent national survey of Australian adults and adolescents examined general misogynistic attitudes and support for violent extremism.

Some respondents justified violence in the private sphere. If a woman disobeys in the home, a man should be able to control her with violence.

Others supported abstract restrictions in the public sphere, such as limiting women’s reproductive rights. Some agreed with the sentiment that “sometimes a woman just pushes a man too far”, forcing him to commit acts of violence.

"When asked “Has your partner or ex-partner ever called you “crazy” or accused you of being “crazy”?”, 85.7% of respondents answered positively. Further, 73.8% of respondents said that they believed their partner had deliberately done things to make them feel like they were going crazy, and 50.2% said that their partner had threatened to tell the authorities that they were ‘crazy’ to prevent them from accessing services such as protective orders."

Illuminating Gaslighting: A Comprehensive Interdisciplinary Review of Gaslighting Literature - Journal of Family Violence

Purpose With the rise of coercive control legislation in Australia and the UK, it has become increasingly important to clarify the discourse surrounding common psychological abuse tactics, such as gaslighting. This literature review seeks to aid future research in conceptualising gaslighting by exploring its complex nature and tracing its evolution across different fields. The primary aim is to compile and synthesize research from various disciplines, enhancing cross-field communication and providing a clearer understanding of the term’s origins and potential future applications. Method This literature review synthesizes existing research on gaslighting by examining its evolution and operationalization across multiple fields, including medicine, psychiatry, psychodynamics, psychology and individual differences, sociology, and philosophy. Results The review reveals significant inconsistencies in the operationalization of gaslighting across various fields, such framing gaslighting as a type of family abuse used for personal or material gain, a form of interpersonal communication between couples, and an expression of structural power. It underscores the need for a stronger theoretical basis in empirical research on gaslighting and recommends moving away from the current focus on individual differences prevalent in empirical studies. Conclusion By providing a comprehensive synthesis of existing research, this review shines a light on the shifting conceptualization of gaslighting. It emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary communication and the need for a more robust theoretical framework to improve empirical studies. This unified understanding is crucial for developing more effective legal and psychological interventions to address gaslighting and other forms of psychological abuse.

🇨🇦 Liberals adding femicide, pornographic deepfakes to Criminal Code

The proposed law is called the ‘Protecting Victims Act’ and among the changes it would tackle with those updates is femicide – murder motivated by hate against women, the minister said.

“We specifically will be creating a constructive first-degree murder charge where certain factors are present when a murder takes place, including a murder that is motivated by hate, including including murder that takes place during the commission of a sexual offense, and including murder that follows a pattern of coercive and controlling behavior,” Fraser said.
