Women Beware Women.....?

Question

Do you agree?

Or can we be sisters?

Answer 1

Depends on the woman, I don't like to generalize.

Answer 2

A comedian said something to the effect that he would prefer working with a team of lesbians than a team of straight women, any time because lesbians band together and get the job done without all of the in-fighting--kind of a no fuss, let's do it and be done with it attitude. If I think about the women I know--gay and straight, I see a lot of truth in what he said. Most (not all) straight women will have some elements of competitiveness, jealousy, and insecurity around other women. Let's not forget the petty rivalries and snide remarks. Let's not be sisters, okay? I already have one, and we drive each other nuts.

Answer 3

I most defiantly agree, at least within Western culture as girls from a very young age are taught they are not worth much without a men, and so other women are threats, there are all sorts of examples of girlhate and things that contribute to girlhate within society [girlhate equates in essence to indirect agression towards girls].

I simply do not associate with most women, for this very simple fact, I don't trust women, I've been burned one too many times by women acting as if they were my friend, my sister, only for them to betray me, stab me in the back and badmouth me to make themselves feel better or gain the upper hand. I am sure I am no saint myself, but I can at least recognise this behaviour in myself and not go as far as many women do go.

Perhaps I am biased, but that girlhate is most defiantly there, and I am not the only one to have noticed it. Have you read Leora Tanenbaum's books? If not go and read them now.

I think it is mostly a Western thing, in other cultures I have heard of women being very loyal to one another because they have to, because in their culture if they put a foot out of line they are punished for it and so they watch each others back, unlike here where girls are taught to be enemies.

There are always exceptions, but when you are looking at a social problem such as this then there are few exceptions to this, and so I would have to say - women beware women.

It's very sad, and unfortunately I am not one of the women who is strong willed enough to say 'F*** that' and try to make a change, at least I am not up until the point where I have daughters of my own I very much hope can avoid this nonsense.

i think it depends on atmosphere..and i too hate to generalize. much pressure is put on a female boss..or executive.. so some tend to act tougher..and bark louder to show they can handle things. which is not a great approach. yet male counterparts/..tend to categorize..claiming a woman is too soft..if fair..and too bitchy if she stands up to the plate. in some social levels..women tend to mistreat other women ..defending the man. and a few foresake their children for a man. a woman who catches husband cheating usually attacks the female. which is stupid..because if she is not a relative or friend, she owes you nothing. it is the husband that should be the brunt of your anger or disappointment. some women have a tendency to be what some call haters. if a woman is dressed nice and her guy comments..the female immediately finds a reason to tear the lady down. "yeah but she is fat" yeah but the shoes do not match. it is as if, complimenting another person takes away from her. which is not true. on the other hand... i think women are there when someone needs nurturing..a helping hand... a shoulder to cry on. a real woman anyway. sisters? we could be... if a man is not involved.

Answer 5

I agree. I believe that´s why we in a subconscious level are so preoccupied with the way we look, and man aren't. Women excuse any aesthetic "let go" man can have (he didn't shave one day, his hair is a mess, etc...) Men also don't care that much if a women doesn't put make up on day, doesn't brushes her hair... etc
But think how other women, specially acquaintances or family react to those women if only for a day, if only for an hour they relax and don't care how they look??? Yes, exactly.... we all been there...

Answer 6

Some women can be sisters
BUT
Being sister can = Fights
BUT
Fights can = Friendships because you may have sorted out what ever the problem was in the first place...

Answer 7

All women are in a sisterhood against men. They are inherently devious and dishonest in their dealings with men. Men, on the other hand, compete with each other for women, so there isn't an equivalent brotherhood. Women only dessert the sisterhood when there is something that they particularly want.

Answer 8

I don't think you can trust any human. Humans are basically born with the two elements and evil prevails as it is the most basic. Intrinsically in our hearts we have good, but it has to be coaxed out. Well, taught. Until you know which people you can trust and which you can’t, you cannot trust anyone, and even then, you must always keep a wary eye on everyone even yourself.

Answer 9

Women can be sisters until a man is involved then Katie bar the door.

Answer 10

Depends on the woman in question. But generally speaking stranger women, it has been said, favour stranger man more than other stranger women.
Of course we can't generalise but when you think about it, women excuse more men's mistakes than they do women's mistakes. A good example is, when a women spots a bad dressed man and a bad dressed woman, who does she mocks more?

Answer 11

ho yes i do agree
we women needs to beware of other women because we don't know whats going on in their minds
