Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new 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?

No, im saying that amongst people who have been hit by a partner, they often lie and say that they have not.

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.

  Oh I don’t doubt that it happens, but I interpreted it as “everyone gets hit in a relationship” and that seemed shocking to me.
  
  I’m glad you don’t put up with that. No one should be abused by their partner, physically or otherwise.

    domestic violence rates are pretty high man. a quick google says 1/4 womenad 1/7 men experience it.
    
    that’s not everyone but it’s a lot more than you’d hope.
