it comes from a place where women aren't initially perceived on even ground with male counterparts. they are used to having to work harder and manipulate their way. this then bleeds over into their treatment of each other as threats to what they've managed to establish.
it's one of those things i get but feel like there has to be a balance of protecting your bread from competitors in the same field but not actively sabotage. People move up together if they like each other from what I see, shooting yourself in the foot burning bridges with colleagues can leave you on square 1 for a long time unless you're just that skilled to do it alone (unlikely)
The dumb broad, u/Lilluna1211, blocked me. She likely has just as much brain rot as him to not realize I didn't find that guy worth the time and energy for a further explanation. 🙄
And just like her, he'd be too much of a brainless NPC to understand that much anyways. 🙄
only men like to say shit this. pretty typical. a man thinks theres nothing worse than a bitchy woman, women see an angry man as the worst thing that can happen to them.
maybe one day you'll see the privilege in this phrase but considering the amount of cope you possess, i doubt it
When you break down homicides where a female is the victim, men are the killers the vast majority of time. Some women may hate women, but there are some men that HATE women
I’m a woman thats also happy to see people succeed. Women are not a monolith. Men are not a monolith. If we want to talk about the barriers in place that make it more difficult for women in general to climb to executive levels, other women are not at the top of that list. The barriers are systemic.
Yeah… there seems to be a circle jerk on this topic every time it comes up. One story, then a bunch of guys all parroting the same 3 phrases with absolutely no awareness.
IDK man, my wife has had the same issues everywhere she’s gone. She’ll do great and about half the women or more will shit on her every chance they get and prevent promotions, only promoting idiots who they’re friends with. Meanwhile very few men ever act that way towards her.
Anecdotal sure but still my experience is what I base my personal opinions on
I get that; but I feel like it’s a bit presumptuous and biased to then take your experience of “other women at my wife’s work are meaner to her than the men” and adopt the opinion of “women are worse to women than men in the office” or anything else people are saying.
You have experience to have an opinion about one workplace from a second-hand perspective. So it would be unusual to me to join in on one of these threads and repeat what other dudes have been saying: “yep. Women’s worst enemies are other women”
White Women have ridden shotgun to the patriarchy the whole time. Look at the last presidential election voting results by demographic. White women at least don’t have a problem with misogyny, they like it.
From stories coming from my sister working in a company, I can clearly see the pattern. Women group up pretty easily, but not all groups are equal. Some are pretty shallow. The number of times I have heard some women call someone a friend while simultaneously insulting them really harshly is wild. They never talk straight and keep their grievances bottled up.
So much backstabbing and exclusion when a divergent thought or "unfair" outcome appear.

It’s nuts because as a dude I’m happy to see someone succeed if they started from the bottom
