I know it's the guardian but...

I wonder if this is the backlash? I have seen various very naice middle class males of my acquaintance get very belligerent about feminism, particularly after 'metoo'. I guess it's defensiveness. Cognitive dissonance - they don't want to accept just how many women are subject to assault, harassment, rape, etc, so they start to attack women for daring to raise the issue.

Sweden, for example, was one of several countries – including South Africa, India, Rwanda and Brazil – in which the percentage of people who held at least one bias increased over the nine years the data covered.

Sweden...... why am I not surprised?

Just having a skim read of the report to try to unpick what these figures mean. The dimensions of bias are shown in the image.

For the UK (2005-2009 is the most recent dataset) the share of people biased for each dimension are:
Political - 26%
Economic - 25%
Educational - 7%
Physical integrity - 30%

I think I'd have to try and find the raw data to get a more detailed understanding of what exactly those percentages mean. I'm particularly interested in understanding whether the physical integrity dimension is more skewed towards reproductive rights or intimate partner violence.

Yes I just read this. Sadly it all rings true rather than shocking. 1 in 3 men think it's fine to hit their wife! I live in one of the 5 countries where the bias isn't over 50%, so I guess I am lucky.

Thanks for sharing. Depressing reading.
