This report examines the nuanced relationship between gender and cyberbullying, exploring how online behaviors, victimization, and perpetration differ between males and females. The study reviews existing research, including meta-analyses and specific studies from various cultural contexts like Turkey, to identify conflicting findings and potential contributing factors. It discusses how technological advancements have led to modern forms of intimidation, focusing on the subtle forms of attack often employed by women and the potential influence of online disinhibition. The report highlights the importance of understanding these gender dynamics to address and mitigate the harmful impacts of cyberbullying. The report also highlights the findings of other researchers with conflicting results on the topic, and the need for further research and understanding of the topic.

GENDER AND CYBERBULLYING 1
Bullying was described as a persistent act of violence where one or more persons abused,
maltreated or omitted to cause damage on a person To date, the impact on the physical and
emotional wellbeing of young people have been extensively studied for the harmful
implications. Technological developments lead to modern forms of intimidation and abuse
(e.g., cyber bullying, on-line manipulation, social networking stalking, on-line posting of
pictures and videos) Many of these latest methods are anonymous and are typically done by
social networking and online gaming using mobile devices, which are actions of violence or
abuse. This report discusses about the cyber bullying and how is different when compared to
the genders (Shaojing, Xitao and Jianxia, 11.1)
Sex seems to be a influential variable of all variables that requires closer inspection. Sex
variations are seen in offensive actions, while people are shown to be more overtly and
aggressively violent. Women are typically choosing subtle forms of attack because cyber
bullying is deemed a similar form of violence (Shaojing, Xitao and Jianxia, 11.1)
Nevertheless, there are conflicting test findings. There were no racial gaps in cyber bully in
one sample of research. As an indication with no gender gaps, it was recommended that
young people and women be engaged in new innovation every day, regardless of gender and
those men and women be active in cyber bullying similarly, because of their frequent usage
of technology (Zsila, Ágnes, 1252-1267)..
Another community of investigators also shown that people are more prone to cyber
intimidate others. Find that women are cyber bullies and that women are often cyber bullies
at similar levels than men and that they are more likely to be cyber bully offenders than men..
Other work has also reported that women are more likely than men to be cyber bullying. It
was speculated that the subtle and social nature of cyber-intimidation are one of the potential
factors that females cyber-intimidate others than males. There is another explanation that

people are more likely to be cyber bullying because of online disinhibiting that people that
indulge in online behaviour.
A third party has learned that males are slightly more cyber bullying than females have
hypothesized that males become cyber bullies most frequently as they are considered to be
more and more able to utilize information and networking technology. It must be
remembered, though, that scientific evidence has not confirmed such theories (Zsila, Ágnes,
1252-1267)..
Turkish reports often record contrasting findings with regard to rising sex is more prone to
cyber bully others. Throughout the Turkish cyber bullying literature moreover, a male
domination in cyber bullying was regularly and quantitatively found. Just a few reports have
identified a gender disparity in the presence of cyber bullying and reported that women are
slightly more likely to be cyber bullied (Zsila, Ágnes, 1252-1267).
