"It is shown that both men and women equally are involved in child abuse, but
men are far more often involved in the aggressive portions. Women report
being more guilty, and feel more stress over danger to themselves than males.
Yet, the overall effect is not always as large as common stereotypes may
suggest. Ann Frodi and her colleagues (1977) found that females are more
likely to act agressively under some circumstances than others.

Males, for example, are generally more likely than females to report physical
aggression in their behavior, intentions, and dreams. Males do not feel
guilty about aggressive behavior, but females do tend to feel anxious or
guilty about behaving aggressively. These feelings do lead to the inhibition
of aggression. Consequently, females behave just as aggressively as males
when they think that their behavior is justified. They need to be able to
explain to themsleves why they did what they did.

Females also tend to empathize with a victim of theirs. They put themselves
in their place, and feel the difficulty of being in that situation and
consequently cannot bring themselves to be aggressive upon them. However,
when the victim is anonymous, gender differences in aggression tend to
decrease. Anonymity may prevent females from empathizing with their victims."
