Why are females more tolerant of 'wierd' than males?

Mgran, why don't you, or someone you know, beat one of these boys up? That will stop it. That's how to solve these things.

I had negative behaviour from both genders growing up. I think it's just some people are nasty and some are nice. It's luck of the draw.

If i was this boys' father, i would beat one up.
That is the only way. I know what i am talking about.

Because I'm a single mother, and if I am put in jail for assault my son will go into care. I think my son's been through enough without England's ridiculously punitive laws depriving him of his surviving care giver.

Britain needs a Tory government; not these Labour sissies.

There must be something in the water where I live because around here that is absolutely not the case. Boys here absolutely REFUSE to tolerate weird in girls. Maybe it's a Canadian thing?


Have you talked to the parents of said boys?

In my case girls didn't really become a problem until toward the end of middle school--and even then it was only a small minority of the girls. Boys invariably made my life a living hell and one was even physically abusive (bodychecked me into lockers in middle school).


Women, I don't know about. Only girls.



Human beings in general confuse me.

Gotta agree with that. They were nice but yeah that only went so far...it didn't gain me much extra social interaction.


Well, I have no contact with any of the girls that I went to school with, even the ones that were a problem, so I don't know whether they let anything 'go'.


Must be something in the water. Males here DO NOT LET THINGS GO. Seriously. There was a 7 year gap where I had no contact with some of the boys who were a problem in grade 1, and they behaved no differently when I had contact with them than the last day of school in grade 1. It was as if all that stuff from Grade 1 happened 'yesterday'.

Now I do know that boys are more likely to actually forget stuff, which is probably part of why it may be easier for them to let things go. But I will GUARANTEE you, if I run into any of the guys who were a problem back then today, and they remember from back then, they will be just as mean today as they were then.

Fortunately most of them have moved away.


Oh yeah, I did hear stuff around girls, though I was surprised that some boys in my youngest brother's grade were as vicious of gossips as any woman you'll ever meet.



Your males. Show me them. (I wish there were some of that kind here)



Yeah they're less aggressive, that's for sure, although there were one or two who were, who didn't know me from a hole in the ground and yet wanted to beat me up based on the words of a boy that had physically assaulted me a couple years before.

Hoo-haw... I second that motion!

I don't think girls know the difference between a weird guy & a normal one; or vice versa. The genders are so different as it is. It's up to our own genders to make certian members outcasts.

However, what happens is girls eventually pick up on the signals from other boys and label you as weird too. It's easy to see by anyone who is accepted & who is not, & it becomes understood that the popular kids are the normal ones & the unpopular ones are the weird ones.

Stupid sheep

Girls pick up on weird very much so. They can be the meanest of creatures sometimes, malicious gossip about those they don't like.

Both genders can be nasty, both genders can be nice, it all depends on the person and not the gender.

Is there any safe way of talking to the parents, I mean a way to talk to them without the bullying getting worse?

Is he able to take self defence classes? It may help, a type that focuses on body movment and momentum rather than strenght. Though I don't know for sure if that would help.

Wow... I can't relate to a single post here. Guys are mostly chill, in my experience, whereas girls are the ones to freak out pretty quick over being different.

Where are these chill guys you know of?

I've experienced intolerance by both men and women.

But yeah, I think women act more polite about it. In my experience, men are much more confrontational and less apt to put on a polite visade. But I don't want come off generalizing because I really don't know when a guy is really being nice and guy is being polite. With women I can usually tell depending on how well I know them and how they react socially.

I use to get left out of conversations and invitations by girls. I assume from the get go it was their "polite" way of letting me know I was too akward and wouldn't fit in.

Since when? Women may me be more open to things such as homosexuality, but Almost all of the most judgmental people I've ever met, have been women. They hate on other women based on looks alone!

Maybe I'm reading them wrong. I find that women who aren't comfortable around you tend to get this pissed off look when you go by and cast their eyes down. I've been told I have this intimidating look though. Friends tell they're just afraid, not that I'm weird, but how could I know the difference?

Now guys, they'll always at least nod. But yeah, when it comes to overtly bullying the 'outsider' guys can just be evil.
