LuvU2: 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. 1 Like |

Pidgin2: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? 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. 1 Like |

nkemdi89: 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 . 2 Likes |

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!" |

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. 2 Likes 1 Share |
