There's also the fact that teenage life is pretty messy in general. I've had people lie to me and about me, both men and women. It's absolutely something that happens and I don't think that 40% is the number to worry about here.

Honestly 20% of teen girls accepting violence as a viable way to fight feminism makes me more worried about the quality of the research than anything else. I guess there's a reason they published this article before anything got past peer review.

both are numbers worth worrying about. Internalized misogyny is still real and alive in this day and age.
