Badly Needed Research
For decades, teachers have called them Queen Bees.
They are the girls in school who know just how to push everyone's buttons.
Now, for the first time, new research shows that meanness in girls and aggression begins at an early age.
These are kids as young as four-years old.
We have a dearth of research about women (and girls and teens) and how they act out aggression and violence, or participate in violence systems. This is badly needed research. There is a sort of taboo about the subject (and a lot of cowardice from the part of academic researchers, one might add).
