An Australian study of anti-feminist attitudes shows up to 30% of boys surveyed expressed agreement with various forms of violent extremism.

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.

    it means beat the shit out of people for having different beliefs than you. or maybe socially shun, isolated, and shame them.

    here on lemmy most of the userbase is totally on board with violence and harassment of people who have different beliefs than them… if you haven’t noticed.
