I've seen this happen with men friend groups too, but they usually have one guy (or sometimes a guy's girlfriend or a woman tangential to the group) who they just constantly dunk on. It's not like the whole group hates each other, it's like they all hate one guy.

When I ask why they stay friends with him if they hate him so much? They act like I'm the asshole for suggesting to subject him to social rejection. It's super weird like you are all adults, the bullying dynamic here is unnecessary.

Ugh. When we get all together we shit on everyone. Singling out someone is mean. If I'm not roasting you, it means I don't like you.

"Jockeying for position" is what I call it. Less friends, more competitors. And personally I remember in school I joined in on making fun of this kid everyone was dunking on (got caught up in group think, I think). I hope that kid is doing OK.
