The fair gender has been advised by their predecessors for not being aggressive. However when time comes for women to show their hostility; they find new ways of expression. They become really mean to pour out their anxiety.

The society always expects women not to be assertive. The girls are expected to nice, pretty and to possess a lot of friends. However this type of growing up leads them to become mean too.

Boys often get a chance to express their anger by being rough and tumble. On the other hand women tend to bully by gossiping, backstabbing, and excluding others from activities. The more the mean a girl is the more she can assert her popularity and position among others.

Unlike their male counterparts, the girls" capital is their friends, their hair, their name-brand clothing-that's power for them. Popularity is affected by class and race; popularity, which is equated with power, is awarded to rich, white girls who can afford the coveted labels but also to white girls from less-well-off families as long as they are pretty. Popular girls are also inundated with rules, about how they must look, behave and who they could associate with.

Some of rules for popular girls include are:"Always sass everyone;" "Get boys to like you;" and "Whenever you have a chance to make fun of someone else, do it."

The findings have been published in the book, The Mean Girl Motive: Negotiating Power and Femininity.
