Game of the year 2013, not for girls

Show me where on the body politic they touched you?

Seriously, though, no. Women, as a class or as individuals, are incapable of inflicting the pressures and problems on an entire class in the manner that a majority has.

If you’re talking about small-group dynamics, sure. But there’s a weird over-focus on “mean girls” which tries to paint a picture of bullying among girls that apparently is worse or more pervasive than among boys. It’s not false, just used as a way to deflect discussions.

I’m talking about writ large: as a class, whatever number of bullying women are out there, they don’t cause a drop in men’s wages, sexual violence against men, steering girls into lower-paid and non-male-dominated professions, etc.

I said nothing about women being less capable of specific behavior.
