40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research (theconversation.com)

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.

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

Really? So where are the 21% of young women in this picture? Are your media comprehension skills so poor that you can not see any gender focus on this article at all?

"Support for violence to resist feminism was highest among adolescent boys (28%), followed closely by adolescent girls (21%)." This is not even a wide spread and this article is a hit piece about a real issue that is very much made worse by this sort of coverage.

The fact that the two numbers are so close demonstrates that the problem isnt just with boys. Youre invested in this being a "hit piece." And as for media comprehension skills, I actually read most of the article. Its probably what you should do before making up something to get mad at a propos nothing.

Re: picture about "grip her up by her neck" isnt a quote by a teen boy, it is a quote by a grown man, and not one who represents the majority opinion on women. Like I'm dying to understand what you see in this that initiated your comments about it.
