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.

Downvoting not because the topic is unimportant but because the new study is run by this news agency

Which "news agency" are you referring to?

The Conversation

At least the article, published in The Conversation, wrote "we" a lot when talking about data interpretation and I saw no reference to any other researchers

On reread, the body of this article doesn't seem to say anything except "we" and "our research" and I had just woken up and assumed the news agency.

But the authors are Sara Meger and Kate Reynolds of The University of Melbourne so it's probably their research so I'm probably wrong. It really pisses me off how indirectly news articles point to studies and I think this is a good example of that, but I do think I was wrong about the study being done by a news agency. I'm pretty sure these people would have a pdf on their research websites too so not linking is just hand wavy
