In the three years I worked at the psych ward, I found that the females were much more violent overall than the males. I think it may have something to do with hormones...who knows? All I know is that the females were much more prone to fight over a perceived slight, they lost all sense of personal hygiene (some had to have doctor's orders to make them bathe) and were much more devious and sneaky. The males tended to be not so violent, unless they were actually actively psychotic. Now, the boys were kinda bad, but generally, if you appealed to their vanity ("dude, he's making you look stupid if you fight him. just ignore him, and he'll be the one who looks stupid.") than the females. You try to get in between two females, and they forget about each other and try to kill you. I don't know...but I've worked at a couple of psych wards, and I've always been warned about females by the employees and doctors, so there must be something to it.
