subject: Study: Women more prone to violence than previously thought

An article with the title in the subject line appeared in the
Sunday paper yesterday.   The subtitle was "Research shows
women 18 to 26 four times as likely to be aggressive".

You can read the article at:

Perhaps this study, and the article about it, will help
to dispel a few myths about violence and gender.   I also
found it encouraging that the article,  while not showing
women in a particularly good light,  did make it into
the popular press.  Some on this newsgroup had hypothesized
that such studies were too  'non-PC' to get done, or if
done would not have their result reported in the popular
press.   The extent to which this study gets any press
outside Oregon (it was done in Eugene Oregon)  will
be interesting.  The article I read had an AP byline,
so I suppose the results are KNOWN nationally.  Let's
see if they get REPORTED nationally.
