'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.
