But most women seem to hate women, what's up with that? Just curious.
It's an instinctual thing, I believe. My husband calls it the 'queen bee syndrome,' where in a group one woman will always position herself at the top of the pecking order. It sounds sexist, but it's true. Women are threatened by the proximity of other females, especially if younger and/or more attractive or even just more assertive and outgoing. At work, I'm ina department where everyone is female and there's a clear pecking order. Things get interesting when a male enters the room, when they all suddenly become giggly and talkative. They also get jealous of each other, even the oldest of the women, who are pushing 65-70 years old.
These are just observations I've made over the years whilst growing up. This question has confounded me all of my life. I always wondered why women do not bond with each other easily (like men do) once they pass the 18-20 age group. This was/is expecially true in my case. I haven't had a true female friend since the age of 25. Women, as a rule, dislike me right away and see me as a threat. Why, I have no idea. I'm not particularly good-looking nor assertive, yet even now when I'm entering my 4th decade of life, they still distance themselves from me. I don't have a problem with women at all, but I can tell if they don't like me, which is usually the case -- even online.
