So I recently found out according to articles that there is a rise in girl/women's violence and a decrease in boy's/men's. However, one thing that stuck out to me is for girls, there is always an excuse such as them experiencing sexual violence, physical abuse, etc. When studies talk about male violence, you never hear such excuses. Because violence is violence regarding the gender. Also, what if girls are committing violence because they know they can get away with it? What if they're actually lying about their pasts so they don't get in trouble? And if that is true, I wouldn't be surprised because we already know many women don't take accountability for their actions and always try to be blame others instead and give excuses. Ever heard of "Accountability is a women's kryptonite"? Even internet suggests that women get lighter sentences than men for the same crime, smetimes they only get probation and that's it. And it doesn't matter what gender, weather girl or boy does violence because crime is a crime! We need to start holding women/girls accountable.
