What about women who don't trust or like other women?

Question

Some women are very "anti-women". I've never met a man that is anti-men. Whats this about?

Answer 1

I write this as a woman who was raised in a house full of brothers. And all their friends. So my early development was spent around male company. As I got older, and started 'hanging out' with girls, I noticed that they weren't as nice as guys. They were mean and spiteful, and always wanted to spend their time talking crap about other girls. There seemed to be some kind of inexplicable respect given to those girls who had the nastiest dirt! And there is absolutely no sense of honour with respect to secrets...somehow, they seem pained if having to keep a secret. As though they will EXPLODE if they don't tell someone.

This is not the case with guys, generally. They are not interested in gossip, and one who engages in it doesn't receive the same kind of respect.

I would prefer the company of most men - any day of the week. My girlfriends are few and far between...and strangely, they are all women who grew up in male households anyway...

Answer 2

Obviously You have not been getting out much. Women are far more spiteful and "anti- Female" in Their behaviour and demeanour towards other Women than a Man could ever hope to be. Half the male population of the planet are to some degree or another misandric. I am not referring to "Homophobia" but just the loathing and contempt that They feel towards each other on a day to day basis.

Answer 3

women are taught from a young age that their worth depends on approval from males, and that if another female is getting that approval, then they have lost it and are worthless. There is a lot of encouragement for girls and women to view other women as competition.

And if you want to meet men that are "anti-male" you should meet my boyfriend sometime. he isn't that way always, but he is for a good amount of the time.

Answer 4

I think women trust other women generally if they feel they are on the same page in terms of looks, brains, definitions of success, etc. But women are a lot more picky generally and so details are more important in their relationships. there are men who hate men, they live in jails and fight each other on a daily basis. I think hatred of any kind generally stems from some sort of hatred of oneself or high standards or rules that they expect most people to follow. most women who are anti-women aren't anti the women who slave their lives away working as a nurse in a nursing home, they are anti the women who wear heels on a daily basis who try their hardest to appeal to men as a means for making a living and who set the standards for their own personal success based on looks and sex-appeal. Truly a person's definition of success plays a major role in determining who a person will like, dislike, and become friends with for males and females alike.

Answer 5

Women suck lol. No seriously, anyways. There's a few of them out there, it's just not as widespread as the "anti-women" women.

Supposedly the reasoning is that women are very territorial and get jealous easily. My reason is that most of them are vindictive little twits and I have better uses to my time.

Answer 6

I can remember one elderly lady like this. She loved to interact wtih men but with only a few women. This sweetheart of a gal was definitely heterosocial -- she liked to associate and interact mainly with the opposite sex (men).

The world is filled with all kinds of people (homosocial, bisocial, and heterosocial -- as well as asocial). That's just the way it is.

Answer 7

My Mom made it hard to trust other women. but I am NOT anti-women or anti-men. i do have a hard time trusting anyone. nothing personal against the genders just my own personal struggle.

Answer 8

I think men are more competitive in the business world, and women are more competitive in their social lives. Women usually don't like me in the beginning because at first they seem to think I have designs on their husbands. Once they figure out that I am happily married, they back off some. When another woman comes into their circle they automatically get their radar out. They try to figure one another out, mainly because a lot of women have been burned by "friends" and learn not to trust other women.

Answer 9

Anybody who is anti its own kind, usually has self-esteem issues. Women who feel uncomfortable with themselves or don't like their womanhood or feel insecure about their place compared to other women, become anti-women.

Answer 10

Now, this is a GREAT question. It's called insecurity, amongst a list of other things. It's deeply disturbing and really makes a statement about women who behave in this manner.
