THERE ARE NO WORDS.

;_;

WHY DO YOU CAUSE ME SUCH PAIN IN YOUR MINUTE AND SUBTLE FORM OF GENDER IGNORANCE.

┻━┻ ︵ ヽ(`Д´）╯︵ ┻━┻

It probably wasn't cliche.

A few decades ago.

AHR

Even then, you had plenty of shrewish acting females to repress other people in a bullying manner (back when highschool was not nearly as in fashion).

GAhahahah. Why must this cause me so much paiinnnnn.

inkblot

Yeah, in reality, there are just as many female bullies as males.

In reality, horses' hooves don't sound like coconuts being bashed together.

In reality, DNA tests take months to perform, not days.

Forzare

But there's also a lot of female bullies in fiction.

AHR

^^I feel like you are trying to make a point, and horribly failing at it.

If you are implying a lack of female bullies in fiction, I will gladly redirect you to the various female bullies throughout the media.

Ninja'd.

^^^^ If you're talking about fiction from then, I dunno what you're talking about.

Though to be honest I haven't seen much fiction from then anyway.

Vorpy

....they have lists of characters that don't exist? How quaint.

inkblot

^^^ But are they common to the point that they're cliche?

Be honest, if you were asked to come up with a "stereotypical bully", you would probably think of a guy.

AHR

Ed: Well, just off the top of my head, you had Lady Macbeth, Hester Prynne's entire town (male and female) from The Scarlet Letter, 

Ink: No more cliché than male bullies. See here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheLibby

And Mean Girls. Even if you haven't watched the movie, the title is a dead giveaway.

Myrmidon

I think that guy means the kind of bullying based on physical intimidation.

Even then, you have that girl from Bridge To Terabithia

AHR

Bullying is bullying, but you still have Clarisse from the Percy Jackson series. 

Also the young wizard series.

Plus, not all male bullies are physical ones anyway.

DYRE

Brigadoon: Marin and Melan has female bullies that use physical intimidation.

AHR

Oooh! And Drifting Classroom!

RedEyedAbyss

People seriously underestimate the power of emotional bullying. Probably because most of us have done it at one point.

Myrmidon

Also because emotional bullying is supported and encouraged by the general social structure that has been built up on the internet.

It's also considered far more harmless than a slap in many schools.

Also, in the same schools, having a basketball hit someone's testicles is also less harmful than a slap on the wrist.

Chagen

Oh god, not more genderwank....

Starting to get tired of Feminism.

I agree with you guys, but I wanted to make a counterpoint because I didn't think the "THE STUPID! IT BURNS!" reaction OP had was warranted.

RedEyedAbyss

I partially interpreted it as AHR being annoyed at herself for getting annoyed.

AHR

It's a straw camel in process.
