The truth is, women do not know what they want, they are too emotional,you have to help them to see it perhaps their physical make up or how God made them.

Of course, women are humans and not subhumans. Forget that guy's post.

However, most women crying feminism are frustrated and unhappy people trying to spread their sorrow. Once they get something worthwhile, they keep shut. Look at Chimamanda and more recently, Toke.

Till today, Feminists haven't agreed on what they want. On one hand, they want equal rights with men, on the other hand, they want special rights as women.

I don't know why some of you just open your mouth to talk before reasoning properly just because you sha want to argue. Who is talking about Cain and Abel here? undecided

Maybe a little research will show to you that it has been scientifically proven that ladies are easily jealous of one another and are overly competitive compared to the male folk. It's not something to debate on, it's very obvious that nearly every woman wants to oppress other women by one way or the other. Clothes, materials, looks, etc.

Let me give you an instance. A lady would not like to buy the exact phone her friend is using. Why? It's not because the phone is not good but because women are overly competitive. But as for the male folk, they are less competitive than ladies.

Argue all you want, it will never change this fact.

I live and work in a male dominated environment, come and see envy and unhealthy competition among the male folks, even to the extent that they celebrate to the demise of their fellow colleagues, no conscience at all, none of them ever wish each other well, as among the few female initially I was portraying "mother Theresa" nature, but when jungle mature nobody teach me wetin be " every aboki to his kettle" .

I've gone through this thread to the point that I'm convinced that you women are missing the point . The unhealthy competition and envy in the male-dominated area have little or nothing to do with the fellow competitors being male or for the sake of them being males , its just because of the masculine nature to show aggression and seek power and authority . But for females it has so much to do with the gender, just being feminine.

A female having another female as a rival quickly incites jealousy and hatred but it's rarely the case if the rival is a male . A man will always have a wont for the pursuit of power and authority regardless of the gender of his rival - and the competition for this power and authority can be healthy or unhealthy regardless of the gender if a man is involved .

Women are their worst enemies is a stereotype that has been long perpetuated by insecure folks to ensure there is strife amongst women. What has a fellow woman done to another woman, that a man can't or hasn't done worse? What has a woman done to a fellow woman that another has never done to a man?

It is a baseless saying.
I am no woman's enemy.
And I won't like every woman, just because she is a woman.
Human's are their own worst enemies.

The illustration you gave is myopic. No one is snatching anyone, the decision to cheat is solely yours. If our society was one that encourages polyandry, men would be the one bitching. If it were the woman marrying a man, and he is expected to be submissive to every member of her family and deal with busybody in-laws, men would be the one bitching. Who told you men don't beef each other over looks and affluence? No be them dey yab E-money, when guys post their body building journeys on NL, na una dey yab them pass.

Jealousy is in every human at varying degrees. When you put your partner in a position to compete for you, this jealousy would manifest.

Mind you, there are women who hate men...don't flatter yourselves, same way some hate women. Now I am seeing women admitting to being hated on, who then are the women doing the hating?
We yab ourselves for fun and not necessarily because of hate or jealousy. The same can't be said about women.

Maybe women are their own worst enemies but I tell you men are not immune to this trend, they just hide it better. It's a human being thing.

There are more women than men so it will seem like women hate on other women more. We can come very close  when we put it on a percentile. On the other hand, men have engaged the age old tactics of employing women to subdue other women. Hey, it's a human thing. The white used some blacks to subdue other blacks as well. It's just a human condition that we all must rise against.

O ye women! Stop already. That other woman is not your problem. O ye men, the world is big enough for all. "Coolu temper!" grin

That's very true

I believe women are naturally envious and jealous of each other. That's you see nearly every woman is trying oppress another woman by one or the other.

That's why you can easily harbour up to ten guys in a room and they can live in peace and harmony but you can't harbour ten ladies in a room without expecting catastrophe cheesy cheesy

Those who live in school hostels will attest to the fact that fights and quarrels are more recorded in the female hostels due to the fact they jealous one another on ridiculous things and they don't overlook something that guys would probably overlook and laugh over

Still baseless. None of you have been able to address my questions, just repeating the stereotype. No woman has agreed to hating another woman either.


This one makes no valid sense, I can show you several threads a man caught his wife and pounced on the man. NLders were asking, 'what of the wife?' I guess that's a pointer too.



The question should be, where do you live? In a hole?


Another stereotype. I lived in hostels and saw guys fight. Once again, where do you live? In a hole?


The reverse will happen. I guess you didn't read to comprehend. Men are already sleeping around with many women, ain't these women people's wives? grin



Does this include your mum and sisters? Or as usual they're excluded from the women who hate other women? undecided

I guess that's all here, baseless stereotype once again.



i guess you are one of those few feminist around,,it doesnt really matter what you are ,,reality is no respecta of anybody gurl ..
no one wuld say guys dnnt fight,, we do! mostly money concern then we drink over it,,ends... but i've watch ladies fight on variety of stupid things shamelessly.

Re: Why Are Women Their Own Worst Enemies? by MissWrite(f): 9:35am On Nov 28, 2017
Let me indulge your skewed observation. Here are some reasons that might explain why it would seem like women hate other women more than men hate other men. And this thought is poached off an article titled "Women Who Hate Other Women: The Psychological Root of Snarky" by Seth Meyers (Psy.D). Please note that the existence of this article doesn't in any way corroborate your claim, it simply explores the psychology of women who hate women, without claiming that this occurs more frequently than men hating on men.

Physical Aggression vs Relational Aggression (muscle vs no-muscle-so-tongue-and-everything-else-at-a-girl's-disposal)
Men, who are physically stronger, are given to physical aggression; they are inclined to punch out a guy they're trying to hurt. While women tend to engage in relational aggression which manifests itself thus: excluding others from social activities, damaging reputation through gossip or humiliation, withdrawing attention or friendship. So these actions are not common because there is more vitriol in a woman than a man, but because the brains of men and women take cues from the form at their disposal: men hurt with their fists, and women hurt alternatively. A man who beats down another man is immediately criminalized (depending on the degree of the assault) and that segregates his actions from other men. He's a mere criminal, and a man would think twice before he lets himself be branded thus. But the manifestations of female aggression aren't criminal, per se, so they're allowed to exist in society even though the effects are psychologically daunting. And in the end, people don't see relationally aggressive women as criminal women, they are just women.

Social learning theory
Children learn by copying models. If a mother cannot model a healthy prototype for her daughter, chances are the girl might not turn out so good. Because we do not allow women to prioritize their personal happiness by making them take a back seat in society, women often neglect themselves and focus on the happiness of their husbands and children. They tell themselves that this would be enough, but it isn't. An individual cannot be maligned in that manner, the dissatisfaction would fester and make them bitter. Most times girls are raised very strictly by their mothers. Most women only learn to appreciate the 'good intentions' of their mean mothers in their old age, after they've been successfully cast into the moulds that society accepts and respects (and the cycle continues). No mother wants her daughter to fall out of line (and the line for a woman is very very slim and delicate) but the methods are sometimes extreme, she's often a drill sergeant or even a monster to her daughter. Girls get a lot of tough love. And while that might fix her social values in theory, it doesn't model a healthy female/female relationship.

Anxiety
Some women may criticize other women out of a deeper realization of their own inadequacies, and not out of hatred. A woman trying to get pregnant, for instance, may likely vent her frustrations by criticizing another woman's parenting kills. But this anxiety results from a variety of socio-cultural pressures: women are expected to be young, beautiful, married, mothers, good cooks, spiritual, etc. - the unreasonable requirements that make women more desirable to men and acceptable to society. And if having a man is a woman's value, it's only natural that she would be enslaved by these requirements. And it puts women under an immense amount of pressure which manifests in anxiety. You find women frantically resisting aging and they put themselves under the knife to fit within the acceptable standards of beauty, all in a bid to stay "relevant" in a misogynistic culture. Research shows that girls who have good support and low levels of socio-cultural pressure (regarding looks) from family, grow up with positive body image. It alleviates anxiety. Similarly, women wouldn't be so anxious if the pressure to subscribe to these ideals was removed. Again, this is one of the ills that would resolve itself through female social emancipation.
