Same Sex Discrimination
The U.S. Supreme Court decided in a case involving men that it is possible to have a case where the harasser and the people being harassed are of the same gender. The case can probably be applied where the harasser is female, or where the harasser and the harassee belong to the same race or nationality.
The trick in these cases is having enough evidence to show that the motivation is a protected criteria, such as gender, race or national origin, as opposed to some other likely not protected criteria.
