Do you think that women themselves are hurtful to other women? If yes, how and why they do so?

Hi Didi, The common concept is that women are the enemy of women. One woman can not stand the progress of another. They say women envy women for they have the implicit desire to be the same as the other prospering woman. When there is a quarrel between two women they can go to the extent point and do not care even the language they use. But this is one way of interpreting the issue. If we see the negatives in women men too are not exception. Now if we are to prove why they are hurtful to other women we conclude with saying that their mentality is biologically conditioned.

Rajib - I have been a real b*tch, hard as you might find it to believe. But I have been so in defense, and not in offense, if you know what i mean. For example - I had a colleague who was married to a drunkard. This woman once told me that her hubby appreciated her raised buttocks. I kind of developed an aversion towards her kind of talk. I am not married, I have responsibility of my parent on my shoulders. So when I reached 40+, this colleague was always behind me telling me "Since you dont have children, why dont you write your properties to my child", as if it was the only choice I had. I found it very insulting because even if I were to adopt, I would pick an orphan, i.e., a child who had neither parents. Why should I encourage a person to be lazy and irresponsible? Whenever I remained silent on such offer, she would start some sort of nagging me, following up with me, as if she were my superior when in fact she was my junior. It would irritate me and it was her way to look for a fight. One fine day I gave it to her. I told her her daughter was far too ugly.

I think that it is a common thing for women to be hurtful to each other. The reason that I think that it is common for woment to hurt other women is because of the fact that we tend to be petty. We will purposely find everything that we can to make fun of with other women in order to make ourselves look better. I won't really say that I do this, but in general I think it is something that women do to each other.

I agree, many women are. It is envy. They start feeling jealous when they see others enjoy their lives. :)

I think this is basically what we call competition. Ever since humans walk this earth, competition was born with us. Women compete with each other, can't stand one another and will make all ways possible just to beat the other. I guess this is also why I always hear this proverbs with the old women regarding in-laws. There's only one queen under one house.The more the harder for the King to maintain his sanity.

It is the way we are raised. Guys are raised to complete for jobs and to get ahead but when it comes to love , he is the best and his friends back off.while girls are raised that they Have to be the best to be chosen by their love and when a guy/girl is concerned , there are no rules.Love is something to fight over . Work can be competitive but not like friendships. It seems like girls Have to put other women down to feel good. And this makes women more vicious. Men are mean , women are vicious . ps. Not All women are like this.
