Feminism blamed for rising female violence

I think this is spot on. For some women (mostly insecure, young women who don't handle alcohol so well) violence is a "hear me roar"-thing. This combined with the knowledge that they probably will win against most men (because boys are taught that you shouldn't hit girls), and most likely will not be prosecuted (1. most men won't report being beaten by a woman. 2. big man, smaller woman.. you know the drill) it's a winwin-situation.

Girls are being told that they can be anything. Go anywhere, do anything. That it's OK to be curvy (or even fat), to be thin, to be "feminine" or "masculine", to play sports or just watch players' muscles. They are encouraged to take more space, make more noise and so on. Which they should. They should be able to try to achieve anything. But boys are still "just boys", and should never ever hit girls. Yeesh.

I don't know, as ashpatil says, what "the feminists" will claim. But this is my pov. As a feminist.

This article has no information in it at all...

try posting something with facts in it, with discussion of the "facts" in it...

No doubt the feminists will claim that the increase in violence is because of oncreased dscrimination against women.

The point however, that we are equal and the same, will be ignored.

Edit: So, people downvoting this actually think women are inherently less violent than men and only feminism changed them somehow? I mean, really, thats like some bizarre self-hatred shit right there.

I think thats probably bullshit - because I think women have always had the same ability to be violent as men, and only in recent decades has news media and society started reporting fights in schools as statistical evidence of "violence" etc.

Its more like our definition of "violence" has changed with how much more peaceful our societies are now. We enjoy a very, very safe life compared to our ancestors - so any sort of violence is now much more notable than it would have been before.

Nice article - short, to the point, and oh so true.

feminism just lets women express their violence. lets them show their real faces.
