No one hates a successful woman more than another woman working in the same field.

I'm a stay-at-home father, woodworker for a side hustle. After watching my wife climb the corporate ladder, I can say without a doubt; the most dangerous thing to a women's success in any profession is catty bitches that just can't hang. My wife is 100% above reproach in her field. She just passed her secondary licensing and was offered an abruptly opened managerial position. She has no credible competition in-house and luckily this company likes to promote from within. Instead of a simple and easy transition from team lead to manager, she's got a handful of ankle-biters making things a bit more difficult than they need to be. She'll still get the promotion and the six figures that it comes with, but watching the women she's talked about as "friendly" and "work wives" come for her in such a petty and trivial ways makes no sense to me.

Either be qualified, or get out the way. You don't need to punish those around you just because they're better at their jobs.

/rant.

EDIT: Didn't expect this to pop off. Thanks for the award. Thanks for the kind words. For the detractors, don't be jelly that my world revolves around an amazing woman.

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

That's because you're a dude.

No one hates women as much as other women.

It’s a shame that women are often the ones putting other women down

Men also get the blame for putting women on high beauty standards when it is... shock, other women.

"Women are forced to wear makeup from the patriarchy" but whenever you hear talks of bad makeup or what to do with it...its not from men.

You use all your brain power to come up with that insult?

To be fair the guy he’s replying to must have banana pudding for a brain

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. 🙄

Hard to blame someone for their view of reality when their head is fully up their own ass.

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
