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.

I genuinely question if this is some sort of trend and not just how it has always been.

Cuz 40% of teenage boys being idiots seems kind of timeless. Definitely lines up with the numbers we're seeing in adult men.

No, I just question the methodology and the message they're trying to send

It would have been really great if they linked a detailed breakdown of the information gathered in the article. Swear to god every article that says "we did a study" never show the fucking study. Like come on let me see the data.
