The blurb seems to indicate a gender-neutral view of bullying. Females and males employ fundamentally different techniques, aggression, threats, and the like to socially jockey for position. I'd argue in high school female social status is arranged into stratified blobs but the dominance within those blobs is fluid. Male social status is a dominance hierarchy of blobs, and males within the resulting strata will self organize into sub-hierarchies to protect against inter-strata conflict. The other main difference is that females employ social status threats. Males use outright physical threats.
