Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research
Zozano@aussie.zone 1 day agoThe answer is obvious!
If you ask someone who answers “yes” to “do you think all women lie about domestic and sexual violence?” the question “has anyone ever reported you for sexual violence?” Will inevitably be “yes” also!

That’s not the question that was asked. You snuck an “all” in there to make it sound more ridiculous and uncreditable.
The question as phrased in the article simply says “do you think women lie about dv/sa.” It’s vague and open to interpretation, which is why it’s bad research methodology. But it’s more likely to be interpreted as “do you think any woman lies/has lied about dv/sa,” and because absolute statements are easily negated, the obvious answer to that question is yes. Otherwise you would have to claim “No woman ever lies or has ever lied about dv/sa,” and that’s patently false.
But you can go ahead and accuse everyone who questions the research methodology of a poorly-written survey of having committed sexual violence. That only provides an example proving that “Yes, some women lie about it.”

Alright, I’ve evidently written my comment with poor phrasing.
It was supposed to be a joke at the expense of guys who think “all women are liars” being the guys who are the type to commit sexual assault in the first place.

I don’t think any guys say “all women are liars.” That’s certainly not the claim in this article, although it’s presented as if to indicate that misleadingly.

I’ve certainly met misogynists who will make bold claims like that.
In any case, I know it wasn’t the claim of the article, it was supposed to be a joke (also at the expense of the ambiguity of the title)
