This article discusses the way gender roles play a role in violence against women. The article discusses the idea that an increase in girls' arrests does not come as a result of girls trying to be more like boys, but instead because minor forms of violence by girls are now being criminalized. The article also mentions the phenomena of labeling the victimization of girls in schools as "gender-neutral" and the negative repercussions of that. A "one-size-fits-all" view of bullying strips girl victims of legal rights and remedies.
