I think you'd be pretty safe to generalize that out from men to society at large. In most cases, women are shunned for being individuals and taking risks. A girl who is slightly different from her peers as a child faces far worse ridicule (most of it being from the other girls) than a boy who is equally different. Both of my sisters experienced this in all of their schooling while my brother and I managed to be fairly popular, even though all four of us were known to be odd.
