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

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.

In properly conducted studies, with investigations, 50% of rape reports to police are false. Me too was one of most hateful/evil propaganda campaigns. Good that society and teens would become more aware of this.

There was certainly some terrible information perpetrated in the beginning which I imagine could have led to some misconceptions and false claims. I remember the first training I went to said that a single sip of alcohol voided your ability to give consent. This is untrue and consent can, legally, be given under the influence albeit may complicate some aspects of some investigations, but the more recent trainings/talks I’ve been to on consent have been excellent and should absolutely be encouraged.

We want a world where everyone understands consent, so people don’t have to preemptively put up so many personal walls around themselves just to feel safe in everyday interactions.
