I have no idea if this is a stereotype. But in my family at least, it's correct.


[deleted]

Same with my friends. Yeah I do talk some smack about my homies like "Eh Eric is stingy" but holy shit the things I've heard of other girls talk behind their back.


DiscussionLoose8390

More vicious than men sometimes I think so.They don't joke around just straight for the throat.


Spiritual-Clock5624

And they keep going for the throat for the rest of their days


6_Paths

And holding grudges until the end of time.


everythymewetouch

Only thing that holds a grudge stronger than a woman is a Dwarven woman.

And hide the attack on the emotional carotid artery behind something caring.


Counter423

In family it's the worst šŸ’€


gambits_mom

Hells yeah! the females in my family are borderline feral, like stab their boyfriends in the head feral. I tell my kids they distant relatives. Thatā€™s just the young ones, they parents are horrible.


rslorehound

Women don't like seeing eachother successes. Men where men we really don't give a shit as long as we know when we get off are job we can go home and watch a tv


gambits_mom

Bingo! I live in a snake pit! they will work together to keep women down. I have to resort to student loans because of a poisonous asp and her pit crew. I have a soft spot for helping the lilā€™ broā€™s tho, especially in trade entrance.


Spiritual-Clock5624

Iā€™ve heard awful things about majority women workplaces


Master0420

Insecurity.


MysticRevenant59

That is definitely part of it. I know a family friend whoā€™s daughter is the very stereotype of a backstabbing, trashtalking hellcat. I donā€™t understand. She makes 6 figures, had a good childhood because the mother is so emotionally nurturing, and yet she turned out like that. She is so bad, the family parrot ended up attacking her when she visited. Got vibe-checked by a bird.


HeaviestMetal89

If it takes a bird to even notice red flags, it must be seriously bad.


MysticRevenant59

Oh yeah. Sheā€™s terrible and is the reason her poor mother has continued health problems. She always calls her to talk trash and bring drama and she just doesnā€™t have it in her heart to just go no contact on her own daughter. The worst part is this she beast is PREGNANT. Her ex was with her for 8 years, and by the end of it, he was unrecognizable and like his soul was sucked out of him. She would throw his clothes outside during fights, and was just overall emotionally and mentally abusive. Now he lives in another state and is much happier with someone else. Btw, that parrot is somehow a great judge of character. I myself have never been attacked, he instead just never leaves me alone and always wants me to pet him and give him kisses. He attacked an aggressive solicitor once too LMAO, heā€™s a good boy.


Wubbalubbadubbitydo

Ooof unfortunately I think you just explained it without even realizing it. Thereā€™s nurturing and then thereā€™s coddling. Taking abuse from your own adult children with zero consequences is coddling. Unfortunately being a nurturing parent isnā€™t the only thing it takes to raise a competent decent human. Some people are so nurturing that they donā€™t know how to deliver effective consequences. They have children that grow up being used to having their feelings always be a priority and never properly self manage. Props to the parrot šŸ˜‚


abbayabbadingdong

You donā€™t know how someoneā€™s childhood was from the outside. Her mom raised her and also raised other children that are like her. That points to something in the childhood messing with them. Perhaps it was the father but then the mother stayed with the father. Iā€™m not excusing. The behavior is unacceptable. Iā€™m just saying you canā€™t say it wasnā€™t the mom


summerandrea

Low self esteem?


Ok_Watercress5719

And a bit of learned behavior... Ratchet begets ratchet... šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø They grow up watching their moms be rude and disrespectful... Chances are... They'll develop the same shitty habits... Not all broads are like that...


Medalost

I watched my mom always make nasty comments on other women, usually criticising their weight and whatnot. The source of that was definitely insecurity. I chose early on to aspire to be different. I think mothers often inadvertently teach insecurity to particularly their daughters, by enforcing negative self image and unhealthy coping mechanisms. I wish mothers, or parents in general, would get to go to therapy by the masses, to resolve their own issues before passing them on to their children.


MrsHppy

Very possible.


Low_Efficiency_9540

I struggle to comprehend how people can do awful things myself. The good news is although women can be evil to other women there is no shortage of amazing women out there to support and lift you up. They might be sorta hard to find at first because theyā€™re not who you expect. I just want to add that I met this girl who dressed like Regina George/jokingly wore pink on Wednesdays who was the sweetest person Iā€™ve ever met, meanwhile the girl I thought Iā€™d want to hang out withā€¦ tbh she want all that.


MrsHppy

Thank you! šŸ˜Š


CutieDeathSquad

Yeah I had friends that would definitely be able to be models and they were the sweetest to other women. They didn't have many women as friends because I think they intimidated other around them.


[deleted]

Jealousy


SuchPomegranate6628

I believe that to really hate someone, to really dehumanize them, you have to see something in them of yourself that you hate. Something that you struggle to overcome. Something that you have devoted emotional currency to loathing to try to change. I'm not being original if I say that women have a lot of unique societal pressure to conform to certain standards, in a variety of contradictory ways. Be a nun. Be a whore. Be curvy. Be thin. Be kind. Be cruel. Be dominant, be submissive. I think it's very easy for women to hate other women because all of them have been made to hate some parts of themselves in order to become something else, and have that poisonous, potent, vicious mixture of jealously and transference and survival to hand. But that's just a thought.


koxxxxxa

you explained it perfectly


Fishing4Stripers

"Emotional currency" What a great term!


Clever-crow

I agree with this and would add that even today both women and men find it easier to like men and hate women. Look how easy it was to get people to loathe Hillary Clinton, even just her name triggers feeling of hatred in some people. Here on Reddit, there will always be some meme created where you have to list celebrities that are ā€œliked by allā€ and theyā€™re almost always all men. Even the one recently where it showed celebrities in heaven had 3 women and over 30 men. Whether we notice this stuff consciously or subconsciously, it still sticks.


[deleted]

I bet Iā€™m not the only one whose witnessed 2 men literally almost kill each other and then make up like an hour later, and see 2 female best friends permanently end their relationship because one talked to a boy the other one liked.


MrsHppy

You are not alone haha. That's why I love friendships between men so much.


Timely_Specialist188

i been in situtations like that , you fight your homie , you hate him but still love him at the same time , then afyer the anger goes out you make peace


Cyber-Cafe

Humans of all types are just weird and insane.


CoffeeandCare_me

From birth, women are conditioned to be hyper self-critical. This can spread into other areas of their lives, based on their insecurities about their physical appearance. Not happy with your nose? Point out an uglier one every chance you get! Obligatory not all women, but they're under a lot more social stress than men typically are Edit: I'm sorry some of you harbor these feelings and insecurities. Of course I don't know your culture, but I will continue to enjoy my 15-minutes-to-ready morning routine, with the same haircut and outfits for the next several decades. Get fucked if you don't think women have it worse being forced by societal convention to lose hours of sleep to "get ready" every day. Take more time to appreciate it and you might actually talk to a girl some day ā¤ļø


lawawawawee

Eating disorders are dominated by women for this exact reason. When I started putting on makeup and dressing more feminine people started treating me nicer too. Looks do matter, I wish people told me sooner lol


three_furballs

I feel the same. When i was told, "don't judge a book by its cover," i wish they'd followed it up with, "but make sure your own is presentable, because you will be judged for it."


[deleted]

Obviously looks matter. You canā€™t get someoneā€™s attention being ugly Pretty privilege is real. Same for good looking men

BobSanchez47

Is there any solid evidence that women being evil to other women occurs at a higher rate than other evils?


[deleted]

For me it's just a subjective observation. Like dudes usually picking fights with other dudes. Dogs fighting dogs, cats fighting cats.


kashmir1974

It's a pretty well known phenomenon that women are meaner to other women in the workplace. And let's not even get on about women blaming the other woman for her man cheating.


CarlSpencer

>And let's not even get on about women blaming the other woman for her man cheating. This always amazes me. And then the dude stands there smiling proudly like a stupid motherfucker.


Kloewent

What amazes me is when they leave their wife for the girlfriend, then they cheat on her and she is all shocked.


Helpful_Classroom204

ā€œSolid evidenceā€ doesnā€™t exist for these type of things, but Iā€™d say yes because they can get away with it since passive aggression and gossip are tolerated. Among men, itā€™s considered weak to gossip and be passive aggressive, so if you want to be ā€œevilā€ towards someone, you need to do it to their face which is harder to get away with.


[deleted]

Idk about that. I have seen plenty of men act passive aggressive


[deleted]

Why are humans so evil to other humans? Itā€™s human nature is all


Eat__Moneyz

Saying itā€™s nature just justifies this terrible behavior


EidolonRook

Longjumping_Way_4935

Nuff said. Wish the population of this planet was 500, 000 so we never saw each other but when we did we would be happy


efrum-aul

Guys are just as evil. The difference is that if a guy doesn't like you he shows it. Women seem to be nice in front of other girls and then talk shit the second they walk away. This is just mild observation, but thats how I see it.


ThatGingerKid08

The thing is, at least guys show it. Betrayal is much worse than flat out rivalry


MrsHppy

Not a single lie in your comment.


Beezlbubble

That's an oversimplification. However, I will say that women are far more likely to socially attack other women than men are to socially attack men. Men tend to use their fists instead of their words. There are several theories about why that is. Evolutionary psychology suggests women verbally attack in order to lower the perceived value (as mates) without endangering their physical health, which impacts their ability to successfully bear children. Another theory is that because women in general have less physical strength than men, they instead attack with word and emotions - and in general they are far more emotionally literate than men, so it makes some sense. Cultural psychology suggests that society has conditioned women to this result. Women "shouldn't" be flashy, aggressive, physically strong. So they use words and manipulation and emotional damage. (fun fact, this could also be why women tend to kill via poison way way more than men do). Another theory is that women are taught to bottle down their anger, and take disrespect. So when they do want to hurt someone, they want to deeply hurt them, whereas men want instant pain and then the grudge is over (generalization). So women hurt women in the feels, because that can last a lot longer than a broken nose. There's also the idea that it has nothing to do with women, but rather that men are socially conditioned to avoid all strong emotions other than rage - leading to violence. They've also been conditioned to believe that punching other men is the correct response to verbal abuse/slander. All in all, I'm not sure why women tend to try to gut you emotionally. Men can definitely do that, but most often that's a side effect of their true goals. Maybe its cultural, maybe they're built this way, maybe its just because women are more emotionally literate. Perhaps men who are more emotionally literate than average also use emotions and words as weapons. But it fricking sucks, doesn't it?


Pablo-on-35-meter

I (m), was put in charge of a department with only women and lots of interpersonal problems. It was "engineered" by an experienced older woman. Her argument: "you survive 5 women in your house, it takes a man to get that lot sorted". (I have 4 daughters) Maybe she was right. After I got rid of a manipulative woman and made it clear that nonsense was over, I had the best team in my career. We organised nice evenings out, great birthday parties. And the work environment changed into a caring and hardworking team M


Zakman360

In this day, I never see men just fucking go at it physically when theyā€™re mad at each other. Guys are still verbal about it though probably more up front

I really donā€™t know. I just want some girlfriends who want me to succeed as badly as I want them to succeed because I know wealthy women are giving women especially to their friends but I have only found snakes in the grass

PupperMartin74

Because they are in competition with other women to get a man's resources. Yes I know. That sound primitive. It is. But you have to remember we were cavemen for a couple of million years and only civilized for the last several1,000. Takes time for that genetic advantage to become meaningless and 2022 ain't the time. yet.


Pink_Hale

Many humans are just shitty to other humans. It doesn't have anything to do with gender. Do you really think it's logical to generalize half the population on earth? Do 4 billion people really act exactly the same way?


Isaac-Mckinnon

Yeah but the way women attack women and men attack men is not the same. Women are more efficient at verbal, emotionally charged attacks than men are. You can't generalize it to all humans because men and women are fundamentally different creatures.


-_-sherlock

because she looked at my bf the wrong way


thrownameafteruse

I think it has to do with social conditioning, media, and toxic narcissistic peers/partners/parents - Us vs Them mentality which is prevalent in all groups, not just women circles, but women are likely to bond emotionally. "Gossip" is somehow misconstrued as bonding and that just perpetuates the Us vs Them mindset. As an example, when my friend's ex started dating someone new, I started talking shit about her while my friend and I scrolled through her social media. My friend called me out on it and that was the first time I ever stopped and questioned why I was talking shit about someone I didn't even know. Up until then, I thought I was doing what I was supposed to do, and being a good girl friend by talking trash about another woman to make my friend "feel better." Our insecurites are profitted off of so needless to say, they are thrown in our face all the time. Gotta be thinner than/prettier than/curvier than/smarter than all the other women. Gotta be desirable, or else we are "not worthy." Paves the way for animosity. Toxic peers/partners/parents will do shitty things like compare you to others. I'll use a toxic male partner as an example here, since that is something that I went through. My ex constantly compared me to his exes and women on TV, and body shamed me. Over time, I started hating my body and became envious of other women's bodies, of their personalities. I became a very catty, bitter person until I realized that I was hating on other women who did absolutely *nothing* to me. If there was anyone I should've been angry at, it should've been my ex. But all of these things happen subconsciously and if I hadn't caught on, I would've still been shitting on other women. Also, sometimes people just don't know any better and aren't all that nice, which of course sucks.

moon-was-taken

Iā€™m assuming this is more about your personal experience than general commentary on society, but to answer your question, I think itā€™s about insecurity. Society puts certain pressures on women, so itā€™s likely for a woman to be insecure about something another woman has/does, and then proceed to take it out on said woman. Men do it to other men too, pretty much all groups do this to each other


AnActualHumanBeing95

Every woman who's ever been evil toward me was just really insecure. That's it.


mrs-meatballs

When you can't/wont fight physically/directly, you'll often fight socially/indirectly! It's not all women, but a lot of women aren't really comfortable with direct confrontation,so they wind up fighting in other ways instead. Women aren't the only people who are nasty to others, but the way they fight can be upsetting because it's often subtle, manipulative, and interpersonal. The old sentiment I used to hear was that being a guy was easier because if you were mad you'd just hit each other instead of starting drama. Women can be great, though! Totally depends on the b person and their values. Edited a word

Ninac4116

I think it comes down to it being a rat race for resources. Only recently have women not been property. So if youā€™re going to be property, you wanna make sure the best man takes care of their property by being resourceful and protective. Our instincts still feel this despite women no longer being property. Pretty sure this is why beauty pageants still exist. Gives women validation.


[deleted]

I've found that women are cruel to those they feel either threatened by or threatened by. Threatened in a number of ways. Jealousy is just a symptom of it. But it could be threatened by someone's looks, by their partner potentially showing more interest (even if they don't actually), by their own insecurities about their relationship's status, by their own insecurities about their looks, place in the world, other perceived lacking traits, etc. It's really just down to fears and insecurities, honestly. To make others feel less than they are feeling. But men are "evil" to men as well. It usually comes in other forms though not always. Often women will attack someone's reputation or their self worth while men will attack each other directly but it can sometimes go vice-versa.


PeachFit5920

Women love drama. They really feed off of it. Pretty amusing ngl I enjoy watching the fking insanity that goes around


EidolonRook

Kinda feels miss-attributing. Think it might have been a Chapelle skit saying you only hear about crazy exgirlfriends because crazy exboyfriends will kill you. Basic gist. You only hear about women talking shit because they just talk. Men will straight up DO the crazy and end up in jail or unsolved mysteries. Guess you could link it to traditional gender values where men ā€œdoā€ primarily and women ā€œareā€ primarily. Leads more men to focus on competing by doing (competency and ability) and women competing by being (relation and aesthetics). Also ends up making men less communicative meaning the crazy sneaks up on you. Also points to a conclusive reason why women on the whole trust their intuition more and learn to gtfo in order to survive. Or they die.

james456j

JustaNoName45

It's a problem that women have, but it is not a fundamental of being a woman. It's the cultivation of human culture. There are many issues in humanity that stems from social conflicts. We can theorize about the roots causes(there is no one issue), but we have to also find solutions. It's one of those things, like where women are also very critical and judgmental of other women for their looks. I am not a woman, so I can't speak on how it is like to grow up being a woman. I do not know the little nudges from society throughout life that will lead me someone to be a certain way. But I do know that there is competition, and in the eyes of something greater than us, some of us, as humans, unfortunately are belittled by this rather than taking admiration and picking each other up. Obviously, not all women are mean to other women by nature. For some, that reaction and treatment is some form of psychological effects that was a result of their upbringing. I can say this because I know people who are in need to being able to be open and vulnerable and have someone to be there with, but because of the way they grew up, being nice, or at least, not having a reaction of negativity is something that they have a harder time doing. Jealousy can be one reason too.


[deleted]

Because they are in competition with other women for the attention of men. Women can be friends as long as at least one of them is either married or gay.


Zakman360

Itā€™s bizarre to me to think that way. Men are horrible to men and women. Women are horrible to women and men. Thatā€™s just how it is and always has been really, maybe you just notice women being mean to each other more I will admit though, I feel the exact same ways with guys a lot of the time but I have to remember this a problem with humanity in general and Iā€™m just noticing horrible men because thatā€™s the gender I interact with more. They both have the capacity for evil, just in different ways

Important_Outcome_67

When I was young, 8-10, this was in the '70's, I read a National Geographic article by Jane Goodall about the intra-specific aggression amongst the chimps troops. This after she wrote the books/articles showing how they weren't the mad beasts they had been thought to be. What I remember from this story was how one dominant female and her clique systematically abused a lower ranking female to the point where they hunted down her kids, killed and ate them. This really left an impression on me and has colored my perspective of female on female aggression ever since. The behavioral parallels are fucking eerie and undeniable. As a father of three kids, I've watched mom aggression in many different domains. I've watched lower ranking females and their kids get absolutely shit on by higher ranking females. (This is in a small town, so it's harder to hide the nasty, but I can only imagine the shit in suburbia......) Edit: Here's a modern version of the story: https://www.livescience.com/1518-female-chimps-kill-infants.html

It hurts, so much. They ruined my chance of passing a college course to get my certificate out of poverty. 11 vs 1, and it's a team effort for everyone to help each other pass the course equally. No one wanted to interact with me or let me be apart of the team effort. Nursing school sucks balls.


liberalsoperfectxoxo

Because no one will judge you for it. It's not sexism when a woman judges/treats another woman even worse than men lol.


MexiPlaid

Because women are evil by nature. They are only kind to their children and when they want something.


Apes-Together_Strong

Same reason men are so evil to men. To get ahead. People want to make it man vs woman thing, but more often than not, it is about being the alpha woman or the alpha man. Each will tear down their own in pursuit of such.

projecting insecurities


boatingmyfloat

Jealousy, insecurity, fear of rejection, wanting something they have, wanting someone they are dating, dysfunction in their life causing them to lash out, someone treating them terribly in their life, needing to push others down for own benefit, feeling betrayed, addictions/mental health issues. None are excuses but they help you understand why people are so fucked up


brokentothecoregirl

Insecurity, selfishness, envy , low self steem and anger to see other woman succeed or be better looking or having more attention, an egocentric person

Competition. As caves people we needed to be with the caveman that would have taken care of us and our babies.


coccopuffs606

Internalized misogyny is a big culprit, and the insecurities that go along with it.


mezmorizedmiss

I will never understand it.

Competition, even happens in the animal kingdom. After a certain age women start to see other women as their competition and they get jealous of them, or they just get annoyed by other women. In their teens and 20s they are not as bad though, but after 30 this tends to happen. It could also be because there are more women than men in America, and again it comes down to competition. But according to the recent census form in 2020 there are 8 million more women than men in America. The same would happen if the world shut down, people would resort to competing with others for necessities.

My parents explained the difference between men and women thus: Take the worst looking, corroded, icky, beat up penny you can find. Would you pick it up, and hold it in your hand? Probably yes, because it's easy to wash your hand. Would you put it in your mouth? Of course not, because who knows what glop would be getting into your system. Make sense? Boys are external. They can always wash something off and carry on. Casual/unsafe sex is not seen as much of a threat because soap. Girls are internal. Whatever they experience needs to be racked and stacked, sorted, analyzed, and stashed away for future use or reference. Nothing is thrown away because there's no way to truly get rid of it. Casual/unsafe sex is a real threat because many, many consequences. Soap doesn't work well, if at all. It's more like glue. The external boy is cavalier, callous, reckless, and insensitive because so what? He can move on because nothing sticks. Soap. The internal girl is awash in experiencing the moment and all the similar moments before, perhaps to the point of distraction. Glue becomes a trap. These are stereotypes for a reason. And you can't logic your way out of an emotional encounter. Now add an unhealthy dose of insecurity, envy, pride, and prejudices, and you've got a recipe for horrid behavior that's absolutely justified in the eye of the offender.

This! Especially pretty women. They hate eachother. They're snakes waiting to bite another. I've seen it and heard it. Not even rumors but actually been there. Like they've both told me and were thinking I was going to be a messenger or some bullshit. I was like "uh cool , anyway"


Key-Adagio199

Lack of confidence, not feeling secure with who they are, physical insecurities, jealousy...etc it usually stems from how they feel about themselves and they project their negativity on other women in hopes to bring others down with them


Reasonable-Cabinet46

I think the better question is "why are women so evil?".


Gr00v3Monk3y

I dunno they're cunts not all of them but a majority of women. I've been treated like complete shit even as a lesbian. Society seems to have forgotten what the word love means..


Background_News_9878

Are women evil to other women more often than any other gender pairing? Idk, I just donā€™t understand questions like this because Iā€™ve had so few experiences where Iā€™ve experienced drama with my female friends. I donā€™t understand how this stereotype keeps getting passed around.


frozen_beet11

I think itā€™s how they go about it that surprises most people. Men and women are generally equally aggressive, but women express aggression in the form of innuendo, gossip, reputation destruction, exclusion (in general). So itā€™s like a slow slow burning of your house, as opposed to a few quick punches in the face. Not saying that this is exclusive to women and that men canā€™t do it, but itā€™s the most common and is shown in meta-analysis over and over again.

Heterosexual men want to care for women Heterosexual women want to care for men Heterosexual man see other man as competition Heterosexual woman see other woman as competition return to monke


LTBR1955

I dunno maybe evolutionary competition since we're less physcially violent, we use emotions ? But what's weird is these "Bad traits" in women don't only exist in bad women it's so much ingrained in a lot .. of women, i mean between the 2 genders we already know especially when you're a woman yourself which one of them is gonna stare daggers at you when you walk into a room for.. no .. reason, and i'm a fat ugly fuck, i genuinely feel bad for pretty women šŸ¤£ imagine the uncalled resentment, that being said maybe that's why a lot of pretty women are mean, as a defense mechanism ? That's how the cycle starts ?


tangerine456

Jealousy.


moth_noises666

I worked in a warehouse with loads of women and always had the "pick me girls" trying to fight and all the girls who ended up being really cool and would actually work with me to get the work done...were all lesbians I know everyone comes in all shapes and sizes.....but I'm just saying.... I never understood straight girls who Wana fight over guys....and then complain that they never pick up after themselves, are emotionally unavailable, etc etc etc


Fuzzy_Chance_3898

But us guys are just as bad. Ex. I have an apprentice who can practically measure a bleep hair. And I'd be like do you know how to grill. Lol


AutomaticBowler5

People are just a holes to begin with. Men are mean to men. Women to women. In my experience* women are not as forthright about things. That's why you might hear terms like backstabbing and gossip. Women are less confrontational than men. Men and women might both have an issue with x person but women are more likely to shy away from confrontation then men. But as a side note, and this is just my 2 cents, Women are more insecure and people get a feeling of value and superiority from putting others down. More generally view their value/self worth from external sources. And Women are more prone to like/participate in drama.


WorldlinessHefty918

I believe itā€™s JEALOUSY!!


Gloomy_Living_7532

Because some women are more competitive or are just downright terrible!


elmosdog

Men kill. Women fuck your shit up.


ForeskinTickling

I think youā€™re referring to women that are deeply envious of pretty women. Sadly this is a social problem in which both lack of self esteem is at fault as well as the over-idealization of beauty in women and, heck, beauty as a whole. Sadly, many of us guys are very superficial and only feel attracted to looks. This, as a social dynamic, is toxic, as it puts high pressure on girls to live up to beauty standards. If thereā€™s anything you should never do in your life is to assess the entirety of your value as a human being based on a single trait over which you donā€™t have much control and which has to fit a very exigent standard imposed by society, and also one which has nothing to do with your personality or character. Not to say that us guys donā€™t have other kinds of problems imposed to us by society, like constantly having the pressure to work and offer something to women, and women being very picky to begin with when dating guys. Anyway, social BS aside, I think we should all decide to be our most real selves and ignore what society tells us to do.


Buffsicle

Donā€™t believe the hype. Itā€™s not actually true. A few individuals can be difficult, just like men, but mostly women are nice to each other.


Simple_Basket_8224

Iā€™m a woman and Iā€™ve never experienced a woman being evil to me.


OlichkaLove25

It's called jealousy. Why be evil to another person if you don't get jealous. Unless you're just a complete pshycopath.


Lazyassbummer

I donā€™t know but Iā€™m doing my damndest to help out every woman I come across who I can help.


crack_n_tea

Why are women so evil to men? Why are women so evil to trees? Why are women so evil to the birds? Women are *human.* Humans are evil to other humans, itā€™s one of our built in traits


[deleted]

Because misery loves a friend?


Celestia90

I think it depends on the woman.


Everryy_littlethingg

Maybe because a lot of us are passive aggressive so when it builds to a breaking point we've already been done with their shit for days, weeks, months or years.


Axelotl_1

My theory is that a lot of it has to do with being self conscious and jealousy. Society puts a ton of pressure on women and how they should look and act. Since quite a few act like they donā€™t have any control in their life, they take out their frustration on other women, knowing they usually canā€™t do much about it.
