![Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls by Simmons, Rachel unknown Edition [Paperback(2003)] - Rachel Simmons](http://booklikes.com/photo/max/200/300/upload/books/e/0/azure_e0997941025a2d81cd560f5702be5190.jpg)
"Research confirms that parents and teachers discourage the emergence of physical and direct aggression in girls early on while the skirmishing of boys is either encouraged or shrugged off.

Welcome to girls first introduction to sexist double standards. *cue my scream of rage*
