Do murders by females differ markedly from those by males? One might think not from reading Henry H. Brownstein's summary of a killing described to him by a woman whom he interviewed in a New York prison ["Women Who Kill in Drug Market Situations," 12 JUSTICE Q. 473, 482-83 (1995)]:

Originally [respondent] had her own business selling drugs on the street, and felt safe in her belief that being on the street made it easy to get away if the police came. One day, when she was short of money and was looking for a way to make some, a bigger dealer offered her an opportunity to work for him selling crack from an apartment. She disliked inside selling [in part] because ... she feared the beatings workers faced when they were accused (rightly or wrongly) of "messing up the money." Still the bigger dealer was insistent and she needed the money.

A couple of years ago I wrote the following in response to an L.A. TIMES article which described and endorsed the misleading nonsense being propagated as history in L.A. public schools.

The most ironic thing about this pseudo-history is that, though it comes from Latino activists, it is just another version of white people’s history. Think back to what you were taught in public schools about the history of the world -- That from the time of Columbus on, history consisted of the technologically superior white man overcoming immense odds to conquer large parts of the rest of the world. The Latino pseudo-history portrayed in the L.A. TIMES article is just another example of the same whites-conquer-primitive-darker-skinned- people garbage. The only difference is that instead of these conquests being spun as a good thing they are now spun as a bad thing. But the history is still misrepresented as just being a matter of white conquerors defeating primitive native peoples.
