oh, also i disagree that women are mean to others because they are "insecure". In fact, I disagree that anyone is an ******* just because he/she is insecure. Sometimes women are just mean because that's who they are. Don't shower your daughter with praise so she won't be "insecure", so she won't be mean to others. The last thing you want to do is unknowingly raise a princess. Shower her with praise when she deserves it and love her because she deserves it, but don't assume that telling someone they're wonderful will make them less envious or competitive with others.
Yes, women can be absolutely awful to one another-but I will say that I've witnessed such behavior in men as well (though certainly to a lesser degree). And the greatest offenders of cattiness and two-facedness, in my experiences, have been gay men.

From a male perspective, I seem to have noticed over the years that many, not all of course, girls/women are just not very nice to each other. Also I've heard females speak enviously about the easy rapport males have with each other. Why is this? Is it a competitive thing? Is it that men are more direct? Do most women grow out of it? We like to say that women are the gentler, nicer sex, but is it really true. Please help educate the father of a daughter.
Women are mean. They undermine each other, gossip and compete. Men will have differences and air them and get over it. Women are vengeful and not forgiving. I would much rather have a male boss than a female one. Women are wicked. I know because I am one of them. We are like cats. Have a ton of patience in regards to timing to inflict the "punishment." If you happen to be attractive you'll suffer far more, something I have experienced. It's par for the course. Wish all of this wasn't true, but it is.
Why are girls/women so mean to each other? Because they always have something to say about the other person no matter how pretty or ugly they are.
It would be nice if true witness bearing could be used for goodness and not badness; as a moral and ethic that could be included in most gender studies.

I think women would be much nicer if men could afford to have them just love us and just be with us; because we have enough money.
I feel like this is sometimes devolving into a conversation about men being better. Men are definitely not better or worse. They are just different. Also men ARE definitely more violent, as most violent crime, is committed by men against women. Those are the stats. Women may be vicious and crazy, and yes, there are some violent women, but you definitely can't say they're more violent overall, that's just not true.
However, women, even though they commit less violent crime, can definitely be cruel. Women in groups are definitely cruel - even women that you wouldn't suspect are vicious can get very bitchy when they come together as a group to criticize another - usually a rebellious, different, or pretty woman. I've found that women that congregate in groups are best avoided. Also if you are a tomboy or not the most feminine woman like I am, you'll frequently get singled out and criticized. I've had "friends" criticize me for how I look, dress, act, for not being feminine enough, for being too feminine, for being too ugly, when I'm not too ugly for dating someone they want to date, and most of all for saying what I think (i get this a lot). However, in my experience there is no shortage of other, really cool women that also just don't give a crap about all this bull****, and I was lucky enough to be raised by one of them.
There is a book entitled "Odd Girl Out". It cites lot of examples of how from childhood women are so mean to each other.
Now, as far as the men being more violent, I will say this. Men may commit more violent acts than women but women are catching up. Women are more empowered now and do get drunk more often, get into drugs, commit more crimes, abuse their children, etc. than before. It is not rare that a violent act from a men was the instigation of a women on somebody else. There many stupid men that commit violent acts for women because if they do not they won't get what they want later, take care.
It usually only works up to a certain point with men; because a guy may have to consider the relative cost and its worth to him.
