I Agree: Blame the Feminists

Many people were disgusted by the video of a girl fight at a Sydney school which ended in one girl viciously kicking another girl in the face and breaking her nose. Clearly these girls had never read the boys fight rule book.


There is a lot of debate now about why girls are getting more violent and one psychologist is blaming the feminists.


From the ABC:


Feminism blamed for rising female violence


By Louisa Rebgetz


A Northern Territory researcher says studies show women can be just as violent as men and social changes are behind a reported rise in violence among young women.


A senior lecturer in psychology at Charles Darwin University, Dr Peter Forster, says there is no truth to the argument that testosterone levels make men more aggressive.


He says social factors such as the rise of feminism in the last few decades could be behind the rise in violence amongst women.


"We've now taken away the expectation that women will behave differently to men," he said.


"It used to be that one of the biggest differences was that women were more peaceful, they were peacemakers.


"[But] that kind of inhibition to be violent has gradually diminished to the point where it no longer inhibits women at all."

  1. Not all the girls going violent. In my country girls are your own pet cat, believe me. Read my blog post named THE SPY GLASS OBSERVATION... and you can understand what do I mean.
