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

How many of them believe that everyone lies?
“women lie about DV…”, will go both ways. You will also find some that are in those conditions and will not tell others or even try to hide it (for what reasons, I can’t really tell).
Until we know about the actual wording of the survey, there is no way to tell what exactly they are interpreting.
I also have a feeling that the people who conducted the survey, might be misinterpreting the answers.
Yeah I’m curious how it was asked.
Cause of course women get abused that 100% is true, but there are definitely some women who lie about it. How many? Who knows. I would like to say only a few but I have no data to support it, I can only say it’s most likely non-zero.
At the same time, there have been quite a few high-profile cases where the women used relevant laws to cause misery to others.
Because in those cases, even if the defender ends up as not-guilty, he still most probably loses a job and more.
There is a fundamental problem with how the laws made for these things are executed.
They end up being inadequate to help enough of the vulnerable women (corresponding to unreported cases) and at the same time, too powerful to prevent malicious use (corresponding to fake cases).

the banner photo has them looking like thugs, so you think the article has a slant about how young men are evil?

I’d say a truly equal condition would be when the women feel like they have the freedom to not date anyone. But due to how expectations work, I feel like that would be hard to happen for anyone in that age group.
I have found it, in general, rare for people to get to live their life by their own thoughts and not be swayed by fads in media. At the same time, that is one trait I consider important for anyone to not have to regret their decisions.

nobody is forcing women to date. what the hell are you talking about?

Yes. That’s pretty much how it is for most.
But their expectations from relationships also get shaped by the expectations on them. And here I realise I am just saying the same thing as you, just in different words.

Where are you even getting this? This is a deranged reading of this article.
Cite one part of this that is framing one gender as being essentially evil. It’s very clear that it is recognizing a troubling trend vs condemning a gender. You’re clearly reacting to something that isn’t in this article.

The picture, as stated in the comment you are replying to.

The picture isn’t about evil hooligans, it just looks like teenage boys to me. The black mark drawn over their faces is not that they are fundamentally evil because of their gender, the background shows the influencers who are putting mysoginistic ideas, signified by a black mark, onto these boys. This is clear going by the text of the article. It isn’t even in the subtext of the picture. Youre reading that into it
