Girls Savagely Beat Girl at School

	CJ writes " Four 15-year-old girls from Boston were arrested at the scene and charged with unarmed robbery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a shod foot) in the beating where they beat a minority girl who was part of a progam that brings urban kids to suburban schools. Naturally, the article does not say that the attackers are girls unless one reads well into the story. Also, this took place in the town where 5 high school boys got expelled from a school because a girl gave them oral sex in a locker room (and she had been doing this on a regular basis)."

Hmm... (Score:1) by Kyo on 11:17 AM April 8th, 2005 EST (#1) I was about to criticize the posting of this story, since the mere fact that women commit crimes is not (or should not be) news in itself. What's appalling is that the newspaper seems to be doing everything it can to avoid mentioning that the abusers were girls, while at the same tme mentioning that the victim is a girl right at the beginning. They're obviously well aware of how casual readers just skim the opening paragraphs of stories they're not interested in, and know that if they mention the sex of the perpetrator down at the bottom, people won't notice. This is one reason why that silly myth that "girls never do bad things" is still alive despire being complete nonsense.

Especialy because the media often will NOT report violent females, as a general rule. And if they do report it it is usualy in the "ODDLY ENOUGH" catagory. They do this to make it seem "odd" or "un-ususal" when a female commits an act of violence. They at times will report a story where a woman runs a man down with a car or cuts off his penis, because alot of them think that sort of thing is funny. That's "our" media for you. 'Violent women' stories are often covered up by the media, there fore M.A.N.N. is one of the few places you will ever see these reports. That is why they should be posted here. They are not only information, they are amunition in the "gender war".   Thundercloud.   "Hoka hey!"

Re:Hmm... (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 02:32 PM April 8th, 2005 EST (#3) agreed. This is why I sent it in. The media DOES slant gender related crimes against men/boys and at the same time holds women/girls to much fairer standard of reporting. feminism does exist by controlling information...
