There's a new study out that says that women put down other women to compete for men.
An article on Torstar.com goes through all the details.
This isn't surprising news. In my experience I have always found this to be true. Women are always putting each other down. Women do the most awful things to one another, particularly in their teenaged years.
If you happen to be a woman, try remembering back to highschool. How often were there conflicts between your girlfriends? How about with other women that weren't part of your 'clique'. How many stories can you think of where one woman did something awful to make another woman look bad? How often did another girlfriend steal a boyfriend?
Exactly! It happened all the time.
I happen to be a man - but I witness this behaviour all the time. I saw it a lot throughout school and still occasionally hear of it in my adult years. But, most of all I hear these stories from my female friends.
Women don't like other women very much.
Sure women have great close caring relationships, but they are also quite catty to one another. I can't say for sure what is more common - a good female - female relationship or a bad one, but the bad ones happen enough for me to have noticed.
Boys and Men - well thats an altogether different story.
