Yes, I am well aware that both males and females are bullied for different reasons. And yes, I agree that bullies from both genders are equally dangerous.
However, male bullies are generally very open about their actions, and therefore get caught and stopped (most of the time). On the other hand, female bullies use subtle manipulation tactics to destroy their victim’s confidence. Meanwhile, they appear to be the leaders, and they are often favored by their teachers and other adults.
Believe me, this type of bullying is happening all the time. Just read

Sadly, many girls who are being bullied are too ashamed and/or afraid to stand up, or even tell anyone for that matter. Even when their parents confront another adult such as a teacher or a guidance counselor, the adult will often gloss over the issue because they are in denial. Frequently, they will say something along the lines of, “Well, so and so is a leader here,” (i.e. a peer helper). Furthermore, if the victim tries to speak out, people often make her feel like she is the one with THE PROBLEM. How would you feel if your daughter's confidence was destroyed by a ruthless group of girls, and she was afraid to tell anyone what happening to her? Don't you think this girl needs support?
A site that talks about bullies in general is not as effective as one that zooms in on a particular type of bully. Young girls facing female aggression need a website that is geared for them. This way, they will understand what they are TRULY going through, WHY this is happening to them, and HOW they can succeed. That's why this site was created.
