Keller

Girls come to the gang for very different reasons than boys. For boys in marginalized communities, they have a gender problem, and they solve it often through gang membership.

Their families are often the reason they get propelled into gang membership. — Meda Chesney-Lind

Just as we reject racism, sexism, ageism, and heterosexism, we reject speciesism.
