Confronting Women's Violence

Trudy W Schuett and an Anonymous User both sent in this essay from Lew Rockwell.com. Ilana Mercer directly examines the ways society denies that women have a violent nature and the double standards which perpetuate it. She also notes that "Women's aggression is different to that of men, which is why it so easy to misconstrue" and concludes, " the old stereotypes must be replaced with a nuanced understanding; one which recognizes that if women can match men in almost every way that is good and fine - then so can they harbor the potential to be as sinister as men."
