I think Tori Amos said it best in her song "Cornflake girl":
So much about what you ask? The female feud.
This topic actually is something I feel I should have addressed a while ago while I had sources from my history class in college. I would probably present a better argument.
Let's cut to the chase:
Women have struggled in getting equal rights to men for a long time and of course still continue to struggle horribly in different places around the world.
There's 2 sides within the female world:
Women who believe that they should be treated equally to men regardless of circumstance.
Women who believe that their difference or (feminine mystique) gives them a perspective men do not have and therefore should have power/equality in regards to that.
There's a million factors that you can go over that will discern that an either or tactic of each side is not going to work in bringing equality to women.
I believe women should be treated like human beings and not cattle. The "gift of life" is not a gift all women want to bear (which I respect)- and for those that do it is a responsibility and a job believe it or not - that is paid for in what?
I'm not saying women aren't thankful for their children just saying that in many ways it can be a thankless job and one that can go unappreciated in today's society.
I don't want to get into the whole feminine debate though - I want to address how women .. tend to be less sisterly. Quite frankly I don't get it - maybe it's because lots of girls want to be princesses when they are young or because it's hammered in their heads or something. It's competitive from the get go - the prettiest, the girl who has the most pink, the girl with the best shoes, barbies, you name it the list goes on.
Then it's the girls who think they are tough and are tomboys and don't like princesses and blablablablah
From my past experiences none of the cattiness has ever been over anything substantial. It's almost always territorial, a form of asserting dominance - or a huge cry for someone to love them for who they are. It's funny that all this bickering between ourselves isn't helping us achieve anything in reality. We all have individual goals in the end - that doesn't mean we have to stomp on another's dream of having a tiara or being able to punch someone in the face. (I want both by the way.)
I have very few female friends - for that reason alone. It is so hard for it to not become petty so quickly. WHY!?!! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS?!! GROW THE FUCK UP!!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD!!
If I have to be born with ovaries and have to deal with this crap from other women my goodness it makes me wonder if it is a lot less catty being a man.
Can we have a "brocode" of our own? PLEASE?! Someone needs to referee this madness. I am getting too old for this stupidity to be a part of it. I don't think all girls are territorial I think there are some of us that are tossed to the side like fodder. None the less united we stand divided we fall...channel some of that cattiness into fighting for something important.
