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.

Holy engagement bait, Batman! What a terrible headline.

Yes, it is a fact that women lie about domestic and sexual violence. I’ve seen first-hand a family seriously impacted by a false accusation. The son was detained in prison for a year, the parents took out a mortgage on their home to defend the case and finally the girl admitted in court that she fabricated the whole thing. The son was acquitted. These cases happen. Here’s a fairly broad paper on the matter discussing several deeper studies spanning several countries including Australia, Canada and the UK.

Among the seven studies that attempted some degree of scrutiny of police classifications and/or applied a definition of false reporting at least similar to that of the IACP, the rate of false reporting, given the many sources of potential variation in findings, is relatively consistent:

  • 2.1% (Heenan & Murray, 2006)
  • 2.5% (Kelly et al., 2005)
  • 3.0% (McCahill et al., 1979)
  • 5.9% (the present study)
  • 6.8% (Lonsway & Archambault, 2008)
  • 8.3% (Grace et al., 1992)
  • 10.3% (Clark & Lewis, 1977)
  • 10.9% (Harris & Grace, 1999)

With that out of the way, let’s move on to the elephant in the room:

IN OVER 90% OF CASES, THE RAPES WERE CREDIBLE! FALSE ACCUSATIONS ARE THE EXCEPTION!!

this is why i hate the “believe women” thing….
the problem was people not believing women by default… that’s objectively terrible.
doing the exact opposite is also terrible.

(i’ve seen a false accusation too… i also know of people who were SA’d with no investigation and nobody caring)

i’ve also never heard of someone being prosecuted for a false accusation either… it’s all terrible
