Two women charged over handbag snatch

The story that follows is just another attempt to bust the gender myths, regarding violent behaviour.

Feminists would have us believe that men have a monopoly on violence, however the tragic reality is that both men and women are capable of committing violent acts.

But remember the vast majority of women never committ such acts, just like the vast majority of men never committ any acts of violence and as such violent behavour is an aberration in both men and women.
