This is my understanding of the topic. Yes women can be bitchy towards each other and women are good at popping each others' bubbles. The reason female empowerment hasn't gone that far is because, other women discourage women from moving ahead in life. It happens even in our families. As a young woman or teen girl, your mom or aunt would discourage you from reaching greater heights; they'd fear your over-ambitious attitude and constantly remind you that as a female you have to consider what your husband would say. You won't really have that problem among your male relatives (well, me I won't anyway) but men haven't always shown that extreme fraternal love for themselves either. Do you know how many times men have sabotaged, killed, betrayed, cheated and diabolically competed among themselves? Uncountable. It is evident in literature and real life events. Yet who say "Men are their worst enemies"? The phrase "women are their own worst enemies" is a chauvinistic phrase. Humans are each others worst enemies-especially against the same genders. It all started with Cain and Abel (brothers), and you know the rest 12 Likes 1 Share |

Kachisbarbie:No, they'll tell you that since they are not female, it's not hating. Meanwhile, their true colour and hypocrisy displays if it's, Iyanya or flavour flaunts abs-- you go see hating. 9 Likes |

FrancisTony: ...True!!..and if a female 'dares' to oppose their regular narrow-minded and irrational views,they will go on a tirade how the supposed female will never see a husband to marry,or if married should expect to be divorced the next minute .... ...and if a male sides with females,then he must gay...ridiculous much 6 Likes |

FrancisTony: lols. It turns to constructive criticism. Sometimes I wonder if some NL guys are normal, the kind of hate in them is alarming. If it's not how females are materialistic, it's how they are 'cheerful givers'. Makes me wonder how many their female loved ones have given, or are they exempted from the stereotype? 10 Likes 1 Share |

cococandy: I realise Some ladies with that crazy mindset are crazy themselves. There is a difference between Shade is evil and all women are evil (apart from me and my family members ). Years back, I was discussing with a friend and her colleague and the colleague be like 'you know How ladies are now... cheating et al. I looked at her and told her... I don't know How ladies are like; I do not cheat neither do some.of the ladies I know.' Later got to know she was cheating . Another thing is that sometimes people say things they have really not thought aabout. A lady is working hard at building a career and will still say women make terrible bosses... tell me, is This lady thinking of resigning when she is ripe to be a boss or is she immune to the wind of evil bosship blowing? How about a lady married with kids doing one or two certifications, very Good at What she does and still say it is not possible for a woman with a family to build her career. My question then is What is she doing? |

Re: Women Are Their Worst Enemies by buggaboo: 9:22pm On May 18, 2015 |
There are two major reasons for this. 1) There is an innate need in every woman to be desired above other women. Men do the chasing while women need to stand out as the most desirable for men. This then leads to the running down of other competitors (women). 2) Human beings all need someone to oppress. This means that the people at the bottom of the ladder turn on themselves. E.g black on black crimes in us and uk, xenophobia in SA The amount of hatred women have for each other in any society is directly proportional to their status in that society. 5 Likes |

Kachisbarbie: I believe a lot of them are trolling and catching their fun here. Still remember a thread a lady opened that her guy was different on NL. Read Some male posters who said same too. As for those really bitter, I hope they find healing. |

Mintayo: I asked a question and competition has entered. The thread was a call for discussion; nowhere did I agree with the stereotype... This is more Like challenging it and getting peeps to see the light Do women really pull themselves down than men? |

An incident came to mind While working on a team, 2 girls who were friends. One of them came to work and was sluggish and sickly, we were all pitying her and trying to ease her workload by taking some of her deliverable. Next thing her friend just blurted out, Whats wrong with her sef? Is she the only woman here, Am I not a woman myself or na only she dey get menstrual pain Na so everyone in the room take know say na Aunty Flo issues dey worry her. I was now like, Does she have to put her friend out like that in public? 2 Likes |

buggaboo: Don't you think men also run themselves down when There is a very desirable lady around? This number 2 na waya. I had that explanation for oppression in vertical relationships. Never gave it a thought for horizontal relationships. |
Re: Women Are Their Worst Enemies by bukatyne(f): 9:38pm On May 18, 2015 |
raumdeuter: Aunty Flo initially thought it was the name of the sickly lady. The friend was evil However I do not think that means women are their worst enemies. Another lady might be more sympathetic 1 Like |

Re: Women Are Their Worst Enemies by buggaboo: 9:50pm On May 18, 2015 |
bukatyne: The bolded is true. Men do run themselves down when they have to compete for a very desirable woman. However they still have the option to walk away and search for other desirable women. |

bukatyne:@bold makes me laugh sometimes. Na those ones dey give men mouth to insult women. If they (men) can say women even prefer male bosses, makes you wonder what those ladies who prefer male bosses hope to do with themselves if they ever get to such position. Or are they simply prepared to be disliked for being female since they've been encouraging such discrimination earlier on? |

If 2 guys are struggling for a babe, Its more likely both of them can even agree to be chopping her simultaneously Its not strange to see boys give themselves tips on how to enter the girl "Just go meet her she like money try flash am money, or just lie give am say you get uncle for London, she go gree for you no just mention my name else your program go derail" If only you know how many guys don reach mutual accord on a girl 1 Like |
