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.

    You’re right. I guess I was just following the same train of thought as the whole, “There were not less autistics before the internet.” logic.

    I only have male friends who teach but they all agree that critical thinking and cognitive function in general have plummeted. And we’re in Canada!

      Oh well maybe we should shove them in front of a screen and have them use AI until the scores improve. /s

      Seriously when they do the analysis in 100 years we are going to cop so much negativity about our misguided attempts to make education a success by making it more profitable for the corporations that are forever sinking their claws deeper and deeper into our childrens future.

      We know that LLMs have a negative impact on learning, mental health and the environment but we keep getting presented the Emperors wrinkled backside and then being told to marvel at it.

      Anyway I tend to go on rants if I don’t reign myself in, so I’m going to stop there.
