hi creative blogger,
it's always nice to see a story or article written in a different way than peck, peck, peck, period. as far as birchy women, i think jealousy fits in there somewhere.
this was a quick, cute, true, and honest article. keep up the originality,
best regards,
sue thom

Nice article...different! I remember my mother, who was a Registered Nurse, saying she would rather work with men than a bunch of women. There would be less drama that way! Anyway, I like your writing style. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for posting this. You rock. This is the one thing I truly hate about my sex. Most of the time when I'm looking for a job and I have a choice, I try to pick and environment that is gender-mixed because it evens things out. You asked..."What is it in nature that makes women behave this way? Like bitches to each other rather than being supportive and nurturing which is the $%&*$%& we're all force fed into believing women are about?" Somehow I think women in groups tend to be jealous of each other... more so than men. But why do we tend to feel jealous of each other. I was once a teacher and then an administrative assistant, now I work as a web developer and programmer. The thing I noticed about the first two professions other than that they were female dominated was that there was a lot of sniping and backbiting in both professions especially if you tried to introduce anything new. There is very little upward mobility in both professions... I have this hunch that when you're in an ecosystem that is flat and there is no way to move 'up the food-chain' you tend to prey on each other. So maybe we're jealous of each other because we have a lot to learn about moving forward in our professions and being proud of our own accomplishments.

That's a very interesting response, I think you may be onto something there! Thank you. :)

Yep, it's easier to put others down rather than build new things or come up with your own ideas... but this is a tendency in men as well as women. (Okay I did a search on the topic... and you can guess it's because I've been dealing with this 'problem' with bitchiness. Though the problem isn't at work, but in my social life). And I found that a lot of other women are having this problem. In a strange way it's both heartening and depressing to see that this phenomenon is not just a problem among western women... (example: Blog -"A Drop of Elixir"/post title- " And Some Women Are Bitches"). Maybe we should set up a 'sisterhood' against all of this? Or maybe we should teach other women to be happy and secure within themselves... just so they play nice... because I'm so tired of this. Makes me want to embrace being a hermit.

I think another reason is boredom ie. an otherwise uneventful life- so one gets wrapped up in the dramas of other people, and also pleasure. These 'baby eating' females enjoy see others squirm under their assumed power. Men tend not to bother as they are more interested in comradery than competition. Consider the great many team sports guys play compared to females (not including the ones women have adopted either). Anyway great feedback thanks.

I thought I'd start at the begining of your SearchWarp career and read everything you have written. I'm glad to see this side of you...uh, less diplomatic. I'm often embarrased to call myself a woman. I sometimes feel I'm alone on an island the way I think about things...it sure ain't normal woman thinking, that's for sure. I know you are becoming a polished writer and to be successful you must appeal to both sexes and be very careful how you voice your opinion. I get it and often refrain from harsh language as well. I just wanted to drop you a comment and let you know I'm glad to have found you (and this rough side of you) and welcome you to my little island! lol

Hi Myla
I write according to my mood and use the words (harsh if necc) to help convey the feeling and context so I think if you wish to be harsh to express a point do not be afraid.

Diplomacy isn't always a winner. I guess I am mainly diplomatic in articles as in life I do try to see every side of the coin. But there are times when you have to vent and rants do make good reads...I find at least!

Thanks for reading!!

May I just Amen to that! Women are so mean to each other. Then they wonder why they don't have any friends, or why their husbands sleep with their friends. It's a sad day when I have lost my faith in women.

Great comments. Most women, quite frankly, are boring and wasting their lives away. Soooooo tired of being on the receiving end of their petty jealousies, caddy conduct, and immature insults. I live by this belief: instead of being envious when someone has or does something that I think is cool, I strive to fulfill my life in a similar way. I have to say, even though it is so uncouth a comment, that women are bitches and feel entitled to be so.

Attributed to mindlessness, personally is my thinking. They are so caught up in they're world, and the existing(perspective) world they've been bred/raised. If most women stopped and thought about this, they would be like you. I feel, most women these day's especially in America, say whatever they want, to whom ever they choose. Women become spoiled and self centered, thus they become cutthroat bitchs. Now, this isn't necessarily true for all women. And i guess saying all that makes me a dickhead.

I'm 48 years old and finished with trying to befriend women. There is absolutely something wrong with the majority of them. If you're not 'like' them, you WILL not be accepted and you will be judged harshly. Women cannot keep their mouths shut, and if they don't like something about you, they'll blow it up and spread it all around. I too am disgusted with my own sex. I can't understand how their husbands/boyfriends stay with them. I've also lost respect for them for doing so.

Yes, I agree. I work in a womens clothing store and I see how quickly women are willing to cut other womens throats. If you look at them wrong or don't respond the way they think you should respond which is to kiss thier asses, they complain and the will go to the manager and even the district manager to get you in trouble. I think women are way to judgmental. I'm really sick of it as you can see. Most woment don't realize what a disservice they do to thier gender. I'm embarassed by how women act at stores and such, as if they don't know what's going on or how to swipe their credit card through the machine like little babies but don't let someone mistreat them they can go all the way to the president with a complaint. It's a shame women aren't nicer to one another. We need to pull each other up not pull each other down.

OMG it is so true! The epitah on my head stone should read " She would rather work with 100 men than 3 women". Men have no idea at all just how bad it is working in a shark infested pool of absolute bitches!

great observation. you think like me.

 

I am so fed up of women that i have kind of vowed to remain single all my life. Yes i will have se.x here and there but i will never settle down with one. 99% of women i have met till now are not worth living with. They constantly nag you and stress you out.

WOW! I completely agree. Just take a look at 75% or more of female Myspace pages. You will see nothing but billboards that say: This bitch does not play well with other bitches; Don't hate me cause I'm pretty, hate me cause your boyfriend thinks so, or Boys are so stupid! What a pathetic statement from females of today. It's no wonder why I have never been married and never will. The next time I meet a decent girl with some class and respect for men as well as other women, it will be the first time.

It's so good, and somewhat depressing, to know that other women have had to deal with the bitchiness of the female species. I have actually never experienced it personally, just heard stories, until facebook. A woman, who has a family of her own, that supposedly knew my hubby in the 4th grade friend requested me. I have never met or talked to this woman in my life. At first she took a few pics of my son from the internet, edited them, and sent them back to me...weird. Then she started posting comments on my page about how I was intentionally hurting my unborn baby by starving myself, have a bad self image, etc. based on a few sentences like, 'I actually need to go to the gym today'; 'I need to not eat quite so much'(referring to all of the cheeseburgers, fries, and ice cream, although good). Keep in mind she only knows me via facebook status updates, so a few incomplete sentences here and there. I have never really had to deal with women before, especially since my husbands friends(mostly all men) just ended up becoming mine too. My family and I found this to be very creepy and WAY out of line for someone that doesn't know you to be saying such wrong and horrible things. Luckly I have a family, school, career, and no time for crazy, bitchiness. Maybe some women act out of jealousy or maybe mental instability, I don't really know. I do know, that this has caused me to lose all faith in the female race, and decide that it is not a good idea to associate with women. I don't know how men can put up with us sometimes.

Hi, sorry to hear about your experience, that is indeed creepy.

I'm not a fan of facebook myself.
