40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research - SLRPNK

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.

Read the comments in this thread, read this:

“Social research has shown boys and men increasingly feel alienated, humiliated or uncertain about their place in the world.”

We just need to call young men stupid one more time guys and gender equality will be achieved. No wonder they feel their being lied to.

Training boys to be douchebags is why this is happening.

Yeah they’re being courted by the far right because the far right aren’t calling them idiots. Really not that hard to grasp.

The far right are calling them idiots which is the weird thing. You ever pay attention to how those influencers speak to them? They basically neg these kids.

Good point, I would be interested in learning more about that. I feel like it may be because the insult is always a precursor to their actual message. For example “you’re a loser with no girlfriend, but it’s because women only respect alpha males. Here’s how you become one…” It uses their insecurity to sell them misogyny and right wing ideology. I think structurally different to and mentally easier to accept than how a man might be insulted from a left wing perspective. Example: “you’re a loser with no girlfriend because you’re an incel who hates women.”

Objectively the left wing one is closer to the truth and heeding its advice would be more likely to socialise them and put them on the path of finding love and companionship, but it’s pretty obvious to see which of the two a young inexperienced and insecure man would be more likely to follow.

I think your intuition is 100% right, there. It’s always easier to hear “it’s not your fault” and they know this.
