Often yes. Women and girls discriminate against each other much more often then men discriminate against them. The rich often look at the poor (who have little) as trash, the poor often look at the rich (who have a lot) as snobs, married women often think that single mothers (even those that got divorced) are whores, single mothers often think that married women have no ambition or ability to support their family on their own, etc. We see the first two examples best in high school, but it does happen into adulthood. (It even gets worse, although very few women notice it, let alone admit it.) We see the second two examples best at family gatherings, where women hate their in-laws and love to badmouth them. These cases are surprisingly common, although I doubt that many women and girls are going to admit it.

Yes. Women are very contradictory and because they over analyze things, they can justify any judgment or decision whether it is ideal or not. Men don't do this. They live simply, do what they feel is right, and move on. They don't dwell in the past or worry about the future. I am generalizing here, but I think women have a lot to learn from men in terms of living in the moment and being happy with the choices we make and not feeling the need to apologize for any of it.

I don't think that's limited to gender. Jet Li said, "I believe we are our own worst enemy." And the book of Proverbs (written by a guy) comments that a man who can control himself is better than a king that conquers a city. (Prov. 16:32, in case you're curious)
So, yeah, I guess I'd have to say "yes," but it's not a gender issue. EVERYONE has the same problem.

Men are designed to compete with each other in a way that ultimately instills and reinforces camaraderie...they have to stick together to do business, defend their tribe, or farm etc. Women, on the other hand, are in serious competition with each other for a male provider/protector ( or lover of the same gender). Under ALL the friendly little chats and lunches is an innate desire to destroy the "hottest" female of the group, or even the woman across the table from you if she has ONE thing going for her that you don't. And, babes, it doesn't get better as you mature...I've seen the worst possible bullying from women in their forties and beyond. And as for gay women?Some of the worst cat fights, physical and verbal, happen in the lesbian world. I saw a couple tear down their apartment in a "love spat".

That's pretty negative thinking to me! The only time someone is their "worst" enemy is when they make it that way! I believe you create what happens in your life yourself. A person only has control of themselves, NO one else...this I believe goes for both sexes! Have a wonderful day, and great New Year!!!

Sometimes. Some women just can't figure out how to take their place in today's equal society and still remain a lady. Some do it quite well.

I think that whether they think about it that way or not, everybodies their own worst enemy.

Generally speaking, isn't it human nature, not just specific to one gender?
