Bullying is a serious problem in our society and it has been noted that it is mostly related to gender and class also. Be it in school or in workplace, some people are treated separately because of their gender which is not something desired in a modern society. People have moved out of their stereotypical boundaries and mentalities have been upgraded too but it is actually shocking to see that the society is still not clear from the evil clutches of gendered bullying. In the workplace it is often seen that the valuable positions are occupied by the males and females are provided with minimum opportunities.
