> Judgments by male participants of male victims of assaults carried out by women changed notably over time. The 2019 male cohort was **less** likely to judge that the victim initiated or encouraged the incident (40% in 1984 compared with 15% in 2019) and derived pleasure from it (47.4% in 1984 compared with 5.8% in 2019). In contrast, the 2019 female cohort was more likely to attribute victim encouragement (26.9% compared with 4.3% in 1984) and pleasure to the male victim (25% in 2019 compared with 5% in 1984). A similar gender pattern occurred in judgments of how stressful the event was for the male victim.

Obviously it’s not exactly accurate to say the title because not all women are feminists and vice versa, but I only used that term because people tend to be more hostile to studies that show bad things about women than about men so I put feminists instead. It does disprove the common misandrist talking point either way.
