Misogyny is certainly a huge issue among young men.

I’m not sure about this research though. It’s always concerning when they don’t publish the actual data and questions et cetera.

Perhaps most alarming: roughly 40% of boys aged 13 to 17 agreed that women lie about domestic and sexual violence.

This one really, really depends on the question. Both men and women often lie and say that their partner doesn’t hit them. This is pretty well known actually. You’d have to be pretty naive to think it doesn’t happen.

Occasionally I’m sure that both men and women do lie and say that their partner does hit them, for a variety of complex reasons. An acquaintance of mine, a woman, signed a declaration to say that her partner hit her and then during court proceedings she admitted that was a false statement. Uh oh. Anyhow, it’s certainly a thing that happens.

Does that mean all women who claim to be victims of domestic abuse are liars? Certainly not. But are lies told about domestic violence? Of course.

Support for violence to resist feminism was highest among adolescent boys (28%), followed closely by adolescent girls (21%).

This is also curious. Obviously alarming, but how does one use violence to resist feminism? I’m genuinely confused as to what is meant by this. If you had asked 15 year old me, not really knowing what feminism is, I would have assumed it meant some kind of armed uprising of women, and yeah I would have said that in that context violence is ok.

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.

I notice that this fiery little truth bomb is tempered to “some respondents”. How many is some? I guess 2 at least.

Again, misogyny is a huge problem. It would be extraordinarily difficult to be a female teacher. My son is too young to have encountered this stuff but it’s definitely on my mind as we navigate the coming years. However, I think this article is intended to be incendiary rather than tease out the nuance revealed by their “research”.

This one really, really depends on the question. Both men and women often lie and say that their partner doesn’t hit them. This is pretty well known actually. You’d have to be pretty naive to think it doesn’t happen.

I’ve never been hit by a romantic partner. You’re saying that being hit in a relationship is common?

i’m a man and i’ve been hit by several partners. both long term and short term.

i end the relationship when it happens, but it certainly happens.
