ORIGINAL: kittinSol When a man calls me that, I can feel nearly vindicated, but if a woman did, I'd probably feel awful, because that's the last thing I want to be to another woman. Your thread got me thinking - I must avoid having female friends without realising it. In my close 'circle' of friends - only two are female and I have known her since school, the other is my daughter. My Master is male. My best friends male, my doctor is male and even my ex-husband was male.[;)] the.dark. I was bullied (never very seriously) at school. I saw how nasty and bitchy girls could be to one another first hand, and I think their motive was jealousy (I was smarter, cleverer and prettier than them [:D] ) - well, it's nearly always the case. The subject of woman to woman shittiness has subsided as I've aged (well, I'm bordering on cripple now) but I'm still witness to it. It's as if it was to be expected behaviour!!! So I completely understand if a woman is weary of others. How do you think mothers could encourage female solidarity and companionship and obliterate petty belligerence, suspicion and envy? I have a son, so he isn't directly involved, but if I had a daughter I know I would be particularly weary of the system she would be sent into. What do you think?
