Re: Why do women do this to each other?

women are biatchhes
'nuff said
No, 'nuff is not said. Yes, those women were *******. But not all women are. And the fact that "*****" has become an acceptable term to call one another is really sad to me.
I find it so sad that so many women feel this way. This is why women don't want to work for other women, and women will never have the power in society that men do.
You have to remember, there are still a select few spots at the top for women. And for women a few years older than us, those spots were even fewer. You had to be better than any man and every woman to succeed. Those women are called *******.
Girls spend so much time climbing the social ladder- and the only way to do it is to cut other people down. I dread having my daughter deal with this when she grows up, no matter what side of that ladder she falls on. And so many girls grow up with that same insecurities and become the women you just described.
And you know what, we are the ones to blame! We fight over SAHM/Working mom, breastfeeding/formula feeding. We judge one another ALL THE TIME. And its done on here too! We complain why someone made a dumb comment at the grocery store about something we did/said to our children, but we then turn around and post on a thread on why a SAHM would put her kid in daycare???
I HATE it the way women cut each other down. I HATE it the way we judge one another. If women could deal with one another the way men do, and support one another, we coudl be so much better off!!!! Look at these political scandals! When did you see a woman of power in a sex scandal? But since we can't unite because we are too busy bickering about BF and saying all women are ******* men have all the power.
VENT OVER
Very well said.

I'd like to think they are intimidated by your natural beauty and intelligence.
I'd like to think that too.

And by the way, didn't you have back surgery? Now I want to kick #3 even more.....
Yes - and I even said that during the conversation.
I do agree that there is definitely a level of insecurity with people.

ITA!
but there are also strong, beautiful, amazing women too, and i think for those that say that they don't have female friends because of "this", well, they're doing themselves a great disservice 
the women that ARE my friends are all of these things and so much more. and I am amazed and grateful every day that they put up with me.
but in the every day world, it is few and far between. just look on these boards. most of us have never personally laid eyes on one another, and there is some petty and silly and sad exchanges on here.

It's true that that happens, but i attribute that more to a difference of personalities than 'all women are b!tches'. When we make statements like that, we only limit ourselves as a whole, imo.

I agree with you. I am blessed to have a number of amazing, strong, beautiful women as friends. My biggest issue with them- they are all leaving NYC!

ah...but differences in persoanlities lead to people calling each other than and so forth.
I was called a bytch yesterday by one person, but to someone else, I'm just funny.
someone will always think and I am bytch. and hopefully someone else will always think I am funny.
I take people on an individual basis. it's too tiring to hate an entire sex all at the same time.
but I am sure at any given moment, I am thinking at least ONE person is being a bizatch or a hater...or something. Even if its ME. (I can tell when I am SUperbad...my good side rats me out  )

Re: Why do women do this to each other?
the same insecure little whenches that were mean to other girls in 5th grade are apparently taking your yoga class.
People who behave that way are insecure and jealous, and they need to cut other people down to feel better about themselves...they're the same women who can't go out to eat by themselves, or see a movie by themselves, or go get a manicure alone. They're uncomfortable in thier own skin. Don't even think twice about them, you get even by getting to be who you are...and they have to be who they are, that's thier punishment.

Re: Why do women do this to each other?
OMG -- what the heck town do you take these classes in? I 100% agree with you. Some women like to kick other women down for many reasons already mentioned. And a lot of times I think that they like to do this because it makes them feel better about themsleves because even they don't like themselves. Also a reason why I don't make a lot of new friends. Because I just seem to not be able to relate to a lot of them. And also because a lot of them don't want to associate with me either. Oh well. I take it as their loss. At least I know I'm a good person and a good friend.

Re: Why do women do this to each other?
First off, I think it's disgusting what those women said and did. I think all women have an innate sense of competition and feel the need to cut each other down given any opportunity. Some women just know how to control those impulses.

Re: Why do women do this to each other?
I think I'm most disappointed because I partially took this class HOPING to make more friends in our area.
Most of my friends live an hour plus away and I was hoping that joining a class like this would help me find some more local friends.
But I've found most of the women so awful and catty about things.
And it's a yoga class in an elementary school gym for crying out loud.
This isn't a swanky gym with memberships, etc.

You have a bunch of b!tches in your yoga class.
How is anyone supposted to relax in THAT class?
I would have opened up my mouth and told them off...
Fa real.
Not all women are jerks, as outlined in yourself and the woman in #2.
Do you take yoga in a high school? Whata bunch of cats.

Re: Why do women do this to each other?
I take a cardio class at an elementary school gym (through adult ed), and I've witnessed the same thing about "stealing" someone's spot.
The class started in the fall, but I just recently joined for the spring session. I knew enough about the class to know that some women are very territorial about their spot, so I was careful where to stand.
Sometimes I pity the women who cut eachother down, because I think they are missing out on some wonderful friendships and qualities in others. Shame on them!
 for the comments made by lady #3.

Re: Why do women do this to each other?
these woman are too much...i actually find that I get snubbed a lot at the nail salon. A month ago I took off on a Friday and my MIL had the baby so I thought it would be nice to get a pedi figuring the place would be empty because people would be at work. Well I was wrong. It was swarming with woman. And I swear I felt like the biggest outsider. They all knew each other. When someone walked in the door I felt like I was in Cheers. Everyone would yell their name. And not one of them even gave me a hi. Even the people sitting next to me. they were going on about who they were meeting for lunch, their kids, schools, etc. I couldn't wait to get out of there and I remember telling DH that part of me was jealous that I couldn't spend my days making dates with my friends and getting my nails done but then another part of me didn't want to be a part of it anyway because these woman acted like they were in HS. And I could say that most were in their 40's. Their kids were probably older than ours. Ughhh.

I HATE it the way women cut each other down. I HATE it the way we judge one another.
Me too. And the OP makes me sad. Those women need to grow up.
I agree...I felt my face getting hot reading these examples. Out of anger and sadness. Women can be awful...just awful, I've seen it too many times. That being said, I have so many wonderful female friends and I couldn't be without them. I feel that these women are like this out of insecurity,immaturity, jealousy and just plain being unhappy with the lives they have made for themselves. They need to get over themselves and realize that the world does not revolve around them.

Re: Why do women do this to each other?
What kind of yoga studio is that???? The evil woman studio???? I can't imagine the women in the classes I take and teach for acting like that
But I do remember when I would go to Curves in NY the year I got married and the girls were so mean to me! I was so shocked- they literally would ignore me when I would ask them a question.
I think that is the difference between NY and LA- here woman pretend to be your friend and then backstab you and in NY they are just outright bitc hy from the start.
Edited to add: This is why chances are we will never have a women president. Either people believe all women are catty, crazy women or too mean for their own good. Its a shame the actions of few have to create this vision of what a strong woman is.

I was a yoga class last night and I was witness to some very prime examples of why I don't make female friends that easily.
*** is wrong with people? I'm actually a little afraid to start taking yoga now lol
I don't make friends easily with women either....it's funny but I've noticed that the women I am most comfortable around have the same issue. We usually agree that some women can just be mean & too competitive.

Re: Why do women do this to each other?
Sounds like a bunch of hags who are friends all decided to join a class together-
some woman become super-b*tches and loudmouths when they are in the company of friends....
and say things they'd never normally have the b*lls
to say if they were alone.
So sorry that you had to get stressed at the place you go to *relieve* stress!
