The Growing Trend Amongst Women is to Hate Each Other

Why is it that women are so quick to make assumptions and judgements against other women? Within minutes, or even sometimes mere seconds we decide if we like or hate the other ladies we are introduced to? Has it always been this way or is this a growing trend? As my career places me in a variety of atmospheres and in the company of a many different people, I have had many opportunities to research this issue.

I have noticed in many situations, instantly insecure women dislike the sales associate, server, or chance acquaintance, if she is attractive, or charismatic to any extent. The insecure woman, may not even show obvious signs of insecurity. Women who feel threatened either socially, sexually, or at work normally dislike other women.

One "woman hater", as I like to refer to this group, told me, " I can't relax because I think everyone wants my husband." Another told me that she just knew a young perky blond would take her job. I asked both of these "woman haters" if there was a reason for their insecurity. The first woman said " My husband is just so handsome, I know he could have anyone he wanted."The second woman snapped at me," I am not insecure!"

My mom and her friends were happy to share their thoughts. My mother told me in the 1960's and 1970's , things were very different. " Girls held hands and brushed each others hair, they called their friends girlfriends. Girls went to the bathroom together. Women stuck together back then." Of course a unanimous decision was to place the blame on TV.

I think maybe TV does add to the insecurity of women. Americans are very influenced by TV. Some women are treated differently than others, and that is a shame. Maybe we should start sticking together. Instead of hating women, we should be mad at all the stupid men, who have turned us into these angry, insecure and sometimes bitter creatures.
