There were two things about the book (and movie) that are male-specific.

Boys will do these things. Girls will not.
Boys feel an inherit need to belong to a group. This is a nature thing. Girls do not.

When the kids start to act out, the girls will first say “Screw you” and go somewhere far away. The other girls will say nasty things about them.

Boys will do whatever is necessary to stay with the group, and will follow their leader much more willingly. This was the heart of the book - and without the boys in the telling of it, the whole thing is just garbage.

Where did you get that idea? Girls form some of the most obnoxious cliques imaginable.
