Female Violence

I found this article interesting. I think I agree with both conclusions, that "part of this spike in violence is related to evolving sex roles," and "firsthand exposure to violent behavior." I'm not sure how much of the exposure to violence in tv and movies has an impact, though I wouldn't rule it out. But more likely to me it seems that real life violence would tend toward more violent behavior. As mothers or friends are more violent, daughters and friends will become more violent. The root problem though is probably with the sex roles.
