The authors of the article and the publishing platform are NOT the people sowing this division or profiting off identity warfare.

The conversation is a platform where essentially all articles are written by scientists for a broader audience. They publish all sorts of scientific work, including several recent pieces on specifically male issues and masculinity. We know they aren't optimizing for clicks because they don't get many.

The authors here did a study on exactly the population you are most concerned about, selected by domestic violence. Surely you agree that men being prosecuted for spouse abuse have been failed by society; exactly the people who are falling through the cracks. Here we have scientists who are giving data and trying to find ways to help, and that's who you want to blame for this political landscape? Really?

You can nitpick the framing, but I would blame funding agencies for that.
