Start Strong, a teen dating violence survey....

...that slightly disappoints me as there is not breakdown in sex in their results. The last CDC study tell us that about 1/3 of rape victims in that age group are male as are more than half of dating violence victims. What the study tells us, is that there is plenty of violence:

The Start Strong evaluation is one of the few studies looking in-depth at dating violence behaviors and risk factors among 7th-grade students.

75% of students report ever having a boyfriend or girlfriend

More than 1 in 3 (37%) students surveyed report being a victim of psychological dating violence in the last 6 months

Nearly 1 in 6 (15%) students surveyed report being a victim of physical dating violence in the last 6 months

Nearly 1 in 3 (31%) students surveyed report being a victim of electronic dating aggression in the last 6 months

Nearly half (49%) report being a victim of sexual harassment in the past six months, such as being touched, grabbed, or pinched in a sexual way. or that someone made sexual jokes about you.

The reason I cite that study is the next statement where we get data on sex. Does that mean that sexual harassment / violence was roughly equal in their sample? Who knows. Anyhow:

Half of students strongly agreed that it was okay for a girl to hit her boyfriend under certain circumstances, such as a boy who makes his girlfriend jealous on purpose.

7% of students strongly agreed that it was okay for a boy to hit his girlfriend under certain circumstances, such as a girl who makes her boyfriend jealous on purpose.

Is it fair to say that violence against boys is normalized? Well maybe compared to violence against girls.

Maybe we get a better breakdown on the data once the other waves of date get analyzed. Here is the mainpage btw.

  1. "Half of students strongly agreed that it was okay for a girl to hit her boyfriend under certain circumstances, such as a boy who makes his girlfriend jealous on purpose."

    This really is domestic violence. The fact only 7% agreed that the reverse is also acceptable shows America is a female chauvinist (ie feminist) country.

  2. 7% the other way is also way too high. wtf hitting someone for making you jealous. 50% is an insane number. People need to be taught to respect each other.

    1. Hitting someone under certain circumstances, *such as* making you jealous. I don't think hitting someone for making you jealous (even purposely) is grounds to hit someone, especially someone you're supposed to love.

      However, I think there are certain circumstances you can hit someone, such as self-defense, if they start hitting you (you should leave the relationship at this point). Or if you need to wake someone up from a deep sleepwalking episode to save them from worse danger (you should wake people up from sleepwalks, it's a myth that waking them up is bad for them). Not excessive violence though, only what's needed to do the job.

  4. If the exact same people agree that it's okay to hit a woman hard after she hits you first, then I can live with it. I would never hit a woman first, but I would certainly hit a woman after she hits me.

    After all, I respect women.

    "I would never hit a woman first"

    That implies that you will hit men first, making you violent and sexist. Good job.
