I think when we are younger we do not understand the value of female relationships. Other women are the competition. I was in my 30's before I learned the importance of these relationships. That is also when I learned to listen to my intuition and learned what it took to be a friend. Women were no longer the enemy, they were my allies.

I think right now our society is moving in the wrong direction when it pertains to women's rights do to the conservative movement. All the images we see inform us that we need to focus more on our bodies, marriage, and having children while at the same time we are told our bodies are dirty and people should not see them, example, the Janet Jackson boob incident. I don't know about you, but I would rather kids see a boob then someone's head being cut off in a movie. Anyway, sexism is not just something that happens between men and women, is also is pervasive in women-women relationships. When women take the teachings of sexism on as part of their identity, then it comes out in whatever they do and in their personal relationships. If you think this fighting is going on concerning jealously over body image (ex. She is prettier than me) or over the "possession" of men, then you can see how what I have just said, societal sexism, would be contributing to those behaviors.

That is true, I would agree with you on that.. I honestly have a hard time maintaining girl friendships... I only have 1 good girl friend... I think there is a lot of jealousy and animosity amongst women... Why is that? I really don't know... Me personally, when a girlfriend of mine is doing good, I'm genuinly happy for her... But other women, pretend to be happy, and deep down inside feel the opposite way...

I have to agree. At the school I work at, we have many more girl fights than boy fights. When asked, it leads back to jeolousy about a boy usually. Girls also hold grudges and will fight over and over, while guys forget about it after the fight and can even be friends again. By far I believe girls are much harder on each other than men. I believe women dress up to go to a bar to impress other women more often than to impress the men, then they criticize each other over and over, while men look less crically at women than the women do.

I was raised around mostly men 6 to 2 ratio women to men in our house. I had the privlidge of being able to watch women fight over 4 very attractive older brothers which was comedic and quite histerical watching these girls fight and vie and do anything for their effections (which they all abused and took advantage of to an extreme, depending on the girls stupidity and lack of self esteem.)
I honestly believe that most women do everything they do competitevly; (except for sports, unless their is a daddy somewhere in the wings whose love or respect they are trying to gain?) for men and men alone. Which a good woman not only finds degrading but also quite discusting...
I also believe that these women are both ignorant and stupid.
I believe in an old axiom I learned strangely enough written by a man, but given to be by a woman. It says; " You teach people how to treat you." and I think that is the greatest truth in society today.
Women compete for men and men learn to use it to their advantage and before you know it, you have a world full of anorexic, fashon plates starving themselves half to death and getting surgery to alter their bodies to fit into some ideal their boyfriend saw in a porno or a magazine.
Hint hint girls... When the lights go off, men usually don't care what the heck they are screwing. and if we were all fat and unkempt, they would have no choice BUT to not only be with us, but to learn to love it too.
We teach them how to objectify us and we teach each other hatred for what SHOULD be a sisterhood. We are after all in our perfected state. Goddesses... and should be treated as such. But men have no reason to treat us well when we force feed them their desires of us on a silver platter because they will be with anything and leave you in a heartbeat if you don't measure up to Pamela Anderson. (Look what she has been with and contracted Hep-C from, over the span of her dating and marriage career.) Which by the way is all it really ever was.
Sigh... what happened to the good old days when an Amazon warrior would sever her own breast for a better shot with a bow and arrow... Women suck these days!

I disagree. I think young women tend to be more competitive with other women. Then they reach their 30s - 40s and on and their outlook changes. By then they realise what it is they want out of life, and they also have a well developed sense of self esteem. There's no need to compete with someone just because they're female.

I know it says women only, but I must just say one thing if I may, maybe it won't let me say anything and stop my note, I will take that risk. I find that women are often more resistant to the Gospel of Christ, without resistance to truth you would find yourselves loving each other more, less competitive, and work toward the kingdom of God with each other and us men.
As for a woman being dirty, it's not a matter of being dirty, it's a matter of being lusty, women flaunt their bodies and produce within men a desire to have the human natures fulfilled. It's not dirty, it's beautiful, God made woman for man and she ought to work with man for truth. Men also compete with each other for women, it's just in a more secret and or careless attitude. There is so much more to say about it but women are no more competitive with each other than men, women are just striving more because of rights because they have opportunity to make a living and be independant. Lighten up a little!

Yes I agree as well. Theirs so much pressure on women to have the certain "look" and act a certain way to make men happy that this pressure is being taken out on each other.Also, the lack of importance of morals anymore plays a role as well because it's acceptable to just look out for number one and not consider other people.

I will agree 100% with that. It's like women can't compliment someone or give the other person credit anymore. There's competition in situations that aren't even necessary.

Competition. Women get catty and bitchy because of competition. "I'm prettier than you are!" is all they are saying. I'm a woman, but I'm entirely too lazy for that stuff.
