"It is said that little girls want the same thrill in their reading that is so persistently sought among adolescent gang boys - 'tales of blood and thunder, detective stories, and mystery yarns.' This seems to show that boys and girls are much more alike than the traditional social patterns would indicate."
-Frederic M. Thrasher, The Gang, U. Chicago Press, 1927/1936
We need sociologists to tell us this?
