May be a culture issue but this title worked for me (native American English speaker, urbanite) because of the opposite sexism you didn't mention: most 'taggers' are male. The title implied that the girls are trying to clean up their own neighborhood and provide a counter example to the choices young, male taggers are making.

Would love to see if these girls can reach out to their peers in South San Jose or Oakland.

> most 'taggers' are male

Citation?

Oh common man, would you require a citation on "most murderers are male" as well?

I know of very few if any female murderers. By contrast, I am aware of more females that do graffiti. A citation also would have led to me to the definition of "taggers" fieldforceapp is using.

It's curiosity based. I'd be interested to know if there are statistics for this.
