Violent femmes

Equal opportunities, equal rights. I'm all for that! What man in his right mind is not?
But ladies, girls...

How come you wish to mimic so much of the truly ignorant behavior that has been a trademark of (stupid) guys? Why? Silly me, I always thought girls were a little brighter than boys.

Story:
It's been dubbed the phenomenon of the violent femmes, an ugly social trend identified in the US and Britain. Now, it is being documented in Australia - and the numbers suggest this is not a mere statistical blip.

According to the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics, violence among young girls has grown at almost four times the rate of its rise among young boys - and has doubled over the past 10 years.

Upward trends have also been noted in charges for offensive language, offensive behavior and exceeding the prescribed limit of alcohol, suggesting that when it comes to risk-taking and crimes traditionally dominated by teenage boys, girl power has developed a darker side.
