That uptick post 1995 tho. And if you were to carry forward to today, could you trace the effect of so-called leadership like Trump's, the Jordan Peterson's, the rise of the incel movement, etc on "approval" ratings of violence against women/men/children?

Well that's some rather wild conjecture. I'm actually willing to bet that approval has plummeted across sexes since then, despite the uptake in 95. That would match the broader decline in crime rates and other indicators of violence since the 90s.

You may be right, I just wonder how the trends look up to 2018.

Yah, Pinker updated not the attitudes but the statistics on rape and sexual assault here, to 2014. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/foreigners/2014/12/the_world_is_not_falling_apart_the_trend_lines_reveal_an_increasingly_peaceful.html … Seems to be US specific. Here's BJS data to 2016 https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=6166 … Issue (for me) is post 2016. Culture shift.
-
So there's plenty of data indicating decreased sexual violence (and violence in general, globally, as documented in Pinker's most recent book); where is the data indicating this culture shift? Genuine curiosity, no snark
-
None. Maybe none will emerge. Will be interesting if, post 2016 election, the change in tone from the top, increased misogynist bots and noise on social media, and events like incels mass murdering people *doesn't* change public attitudes generally or lead to more rapes/assaults.

Another person who thinks their anecdotal evidence is higher quality than data from an experiement.

Even though Better Angels ... is good, the stuff you mentioned was known long before that.

Another one: how can approval change when attitudes are hard coded in our dna, according to you.

The population doubled since 1965 and your first graph shows the RATE less that halving since 1965 which means violence has increased in total. All thanks to the ashkenazi master race as well?

These show the rate of violence. It is incorrect to say that violence has decreased when you are talking about percentage since the population has increased. Your language is normally so precise professor. What gives?
