You don't think that getting more attention, help, and outright handouts isn't its own form of bullying? You don't think it hints at an ever-more underlying reason behind the attention, help, and handouts?
You don't see an issue with being unable to have your in-game relationships progress past "you're a woman and that's the only thing we care about you"?
Yes, if we distort bullying out of all sense to just mean "different treatment"...
In that sense, a rich person who receives more attention, the best seats in the house, VIP treatment where they go, are also "bullied".
