Man I should’ve read further before I read that whole study. 29 cases, 9 of which were forced marriage by family because the man was suspected to be gay… for sure not what that comment had me expecting. Glad they owned up to it.
Did you read case 16? The point of the study was to talk about male victims of violence, but then case 16 is that his family was mean to him, then kidnapped the girlfriend they didn’t approve of. Jesus Christ. Definitely not what I was expecting.
Yea, unfortunately I read the whole study out of good faith. It’s wild that comment has as many upvotes as it does, but just goes to show how little people actually care about the truth and how ready they are to accept anything that purports to back their own claims. Or hopefully that Lemmy is being astroturfed already and no one actually believes that, they’re just sowing division.
Every case is just gross and a great example of how patriarchy harms men. I can’t believe people think that they can marry off their disabled son and they’d just be effectively cared for by their new wife. Heartbreaking. I can’t imagine effectively telling my child I’m sick of caring for them so I’m just giving that responsibility to someone who they don’t know and who’s being forced to care for them with no training or presumably forewarning.
