This is not really a fair question in that everyone is capable of being manipulative. Part of it may have to do with how women and girls have been expected to be passive, sweet, friendly, and nice, and the double standards that let men and boys get by with more. So when a girl is raised under such double standards, there is an incentive to become more sneaky. Oftentimes, bullying by girls is almost undetectable by adults. They know how far to push and right where the edge is and can instantly turn on the charm and escape detection and punishment. So if they were encouraged to be more direct growing up, and not punished harder than boys for being direct with their feelings, they would not have to resort to underhanded ways to get their points across.

Another part of this equation may be that some men are easier to be manipulated. If a guy is addicted to sex, for instance, then he is setting himself up to be manipulated by women who want to hold sex over him. If he is addicted to it, he will do whatever the women want to get what he wants. So the women get their money, furs, vacations, promotions, etc., all because the guys' addictions and proclivities make them vulnerable.

Even sexism and chauvinism make this possible. Not only do these traits position women as subservient to men, the flip side is that it also makes men responsible for women. Some old TV shows demonstrate this. A woman wanted to buy a car by herself. She learned all the logic, knew what she wanted, knew what it went for, etc. The dealer still wanted to cheat her. So she turned on the tears and played the sexist dealer by appealing to his ego and using his sexism against him. So many guys expect women to be weak and submissive, and when they actually encounter that, or think they do, they don't know how to handle it.
