Do men participate in this type of behavior in a different way than women?

Yes. And you likely don't see it, or don't acknowledge it to be a different manifestation of the same intentions.

In my experience, women rebel in different ways. Men are more destructive and imo, definitely more extreme. The rioters, the shooters are almost always men. Women will do social ostracism and other social stuff, but they usually won't do crazy violent shit. You don't see women killing people because they can't get a date, you don't see women beheading anyone or hijacking planes in the name of their religion. If you focus on the SJW emails, women seem extreme, but so much of male bullshit is just accepted as the statue quo. When was the last time a woman threatened to rape someone who disagreed with her?

Women will generally try to appeal to reason. They'll demand rapists and sex abusers be fired from positions of power. They'll also send shitty emails. Men are way more violent. They riot, start wars, and make violent threats.

Fascinating, excellent response, thank you. I agree with all your points and it helps me understand the repercussions of this study when I do not see it (due to my perspective as a woman).

Is there a way for men and women to bring balance to each other? Do you think the extremism between men and women feeds the responses at all? Can we find a way that women don’t socially ostracize people while men don’t get violent? I’m not sure how and this might be a philosophical question, but I’d love to hear ideas if you have them. Are we doomed to constantly have extremes and be opposed and have these types of fall outs? Is there a way to balance and moderation? If so, how? Huge questions, sorry. I’m curious and like to problem solve.
