It’d be a surprise to me. I was ethnically and culturally an outsider, and was bullied for that. It was rarely because of people I’d consider friends. When you’re different and othered, you’re targeted by the toxic masculinity crowd. It’s how the nerds ended up halfway together. High school was tame in the bullying regard. It was a magnet school full of dorks who were escaping the rest of society.

Funny. The worst bullies in my schools growing up were the girls.

My memory is that girls bullied by emotional tactics: mocking, scorn, ostracizing, back-stabbing. Boys were more likely physical, though name-calling was also pretty common.

Girls can and are part of the toxic masculinity problem.
