This whole thread is kinda silly because females do this too - and often.
I'm friends with a LOT of females, and they crack jokes and rip on each other (and their male counterparts) just as much as males do, so it's not like it's some kind of "alpha male domination" tactic or anything deeper than what it appears to be.
There are people who can easily tolerate immense amounts of sarcasm, and there are others who can't.
I highly doubt anyone here in this thread is ripping on someone so much that the other person goes home and cries. Does it happen? I'm sure it does somewhere in the world, but not from anyone here.
Even still, if the person is getting ripped on to the point of "cowering inside", then they should grow a pair, tell their "friends" off, fuckin walk away, and never talk to them again.
There are two extremes - being a bully, and being severely weak to the point where you have NO IDEA what to do when confronted with such issues. If it bothers you, speak the fuck up and do something about it. Otherwise, it's just common, "You actually like Britney Spears? What a pussy..." (if you'd really take offense to that.. then I feel bad for ya)
