Because girls can never be abusive?
2 comments

Yes, but statistics are very clear here [0]. Speaking as a dad of both, we have tried to raise our kids to treat everyone as a human first, but there are very obviously ways for boys to fall into different behaviors than girls, both from culture (probably mainly) but also from testosterone when older. Girls can absolutely be cruel in other ways, though, and of course incidents diverging from statistical patterns, as with most things.

Well TFA exclusively discusses instances of boys abusing girls.
