Boston Globe: 'Girl power'

Article here. Excerpt:

"Females do have a lot of say. . . . A lot of the drama that happens on the street is over a female," said Samantha Allen, a 17-year-old senior with short brown hair that sloped over her forehead.

Allen said there is a name for girls who, either wittingly or unwittingly, initiate conflicts through their boyfriends, brothers, or male friends. They're called "set-up chicks," she said.

"They're chicks that run their mouths to other parts of the city," Allen said. "They cause a lot of violence."

Most of them rely on men to settle their feuds because they do not know who else to go to for help, said Allen. Many girls could use the guidance the campaign organizers are trying to provide, she said.'

And a venomous woman is a venomous woman is a venomous woman is a venomous woman... whether you call her an 'post-divorce malicious mother', an 'entitlement princess' or a 'set up girl'.

Nothing new here folks.

"Now one organization is targeting a population that often is overlooked in the fight against youth crime: the girls who date, befriend, and go to school with the teenage boys driving the violence."

Sure, blame the guys. I mean there's no way that a teenage girl would even be compelled to use a gun, not in this day in age, with all the articles you find online about teenage girls committing extremely violent acts...

I wish women would admit that women are just as capable of evil as men and own up to the messes that they have made.
