as much as women bully each other?
Just curious.
Why don't men bully each other?
My suspicion is that it can more quickly turn to physical violence with men, which substantially ups the stakes.

Men and women bully differently.
Men bully physically, while women bully by social exclusion.
To deal with a male bully, it is only necessary to stand up to him.
But if a women complains about social exclusion it only makes it worse.
And as female bullying operates under the radar, it is eminently deniable, and is invisible to those in authority.
And the male bully is an individual, while the female bullies are a group. And of course we need a group to effectively socially exclude the victim.
And female bullying by social exclusion is immediately emotionally painful and does long term emotional damage.
So women are perennially anxious about being socially excluded, and so to deal with their very real anxiety, in Oz we have created a Minister for Social Inclusion. For every women wants to be socially included and no woman wants to be, the odd girl out*.

Good stuff here. Some men and women bully verbally however as well.
What is interesting is that social exclusion can be done non verbally by a group.
So it is not that men are physical and women verbal, no, it is that female bullying is far more sophisticated than male bullying.
Male bullying is there to be seen, while female bullying is invisible and is felt as an emotional blow.
