Shunning Eventually Hurts the Shunner More Than You

this is worth reading.

basically it seems to be referring to the "mean girl" syndrome where girls who were once part of an in-crowd are suddenly ostracised by their peers, the feelings of despair that overwhelm them.

however, social aggressors usually finish up with deep seated problems of their own.

After my DF'ing I decided no-one was going to put me down just because I no longer held the same religious convictions as others did. When my parents remarked how difficult the situation was, I told them that it was their rules that were causing a problem, not mine.

Eventually I did get some small degree of satisfaction when one witness told me that I needed reminding that it was they who were shunning me, not me shunning them. I just walked away, feeling much stronger.

Similar studies have shown that ostracised persons can actually rise emotionally above those who once shunned them.

Historically, traditional masculinity comes with a heteronormative assumption, which “may ostracize some gay, bisexual, transgender, and gender-nonconforming individuals from an inherent sense of male identity ... Men from marginalized groups, including ethnic minorities, are also often targets of additional stereotypes - yes, it's true that traditional masculinity regards homosexuality as weird.

Any idea of what percentage of the population this applies to?

Like most guys I've always regarded myself as an alpha male and all other fellas as merely aspiring alpha males.

Maybe more attention should be paid as to how women treat each other. Ask any man with an attractive woman partner how often he's had other women slyly rubbishing her when she's absent. Thankfully this tends to tail off in later years as they become less hormone driven, but women of 20 or 30 something can be quite horrible to their own kind. Sorry to the girls who don't do that, but a lot of girls can't resist the chance to flirt with a guy who's happy with what he's got.
