Ladies: Why so catty?

namecalling is a form of jealousy in that regard.0

The answer is obvious.
It's cos women are nuttier than a squirrel's fridge. Men still love you nutjobs though. That's probably why we die sooner...0 -
"Hey Generalisation, why so generalisation?"
well that's kind of a catty way to not answer this question.0 -
I'm going to go with:
Until recently women couldn't throw down and hash out an issue, women were taught how to be passive aggressive and how to be politely pointed and cruel. It's not our fault, men wouldn't let us dual, let's blame them.0 -
If I can sense a thread is going in the "catty" direction, I don't participate. I shall participate if there are intelligible debates, funny threads, success stories, sound advice, or if it can be construed into something perverted.0

The yeast infection is to make women realize what its like to live with an annoying c-u-n-t
I am so stealing that...
Why do men fart more than women?
Because women can't shut up long enough to build up the required pressure.0 -
not all women are like this, and i do believe that it has something to do with self-esteem and bringing others down to make one feel better about themselves, but i also think it's just a personality thing with some women. i'd have a homegirl who i'd hang out with, and she wasn't a small women by anymeans, (but beautiful nonetheless) but had something to say about every big woman that came into the room. and most of it wasn't even well thought out insults so much as she just had to say SOMEthing..idk.. my self esteem leaves a lot to be desired at times, but i get down on myself not others. just depends i guess.0

Men do it too. I hear my husband trash talking people ALL THE TIME. I also have a male coworker who rarely speaks, but when he does, it's usually filled with juicy bits of gossip. It's rarely anything relevant to his own life.
I'm not going to lie and say women aren't catty, but to pretend that it's an issue that is exclusive to us is naive.
And I do have to agree with this. The men in my office are gossip queens. Wanna know something? Ask them. Women will knit pick at things all the time, but men can be just as catty and gossip driven as women.
Yep...we do.0 -
i think that you all fail to see the point here. that b!tch is WRONG and i am RIGHT.0

I prefer not to draw a line between genders in terms of behavior, because I don't believe that personality traits are dependent on gender. Some women are catty, as are some men. It stems from insecurity sometimes, but it is also a way to express dislike of somebody without confronting them.
People are weird and flawed. All of us.0 -

And I totlaly agree not every woman does it. It's just so dissapointing ot se at all.0

i worked in a workshop of over 60 men before and ive never met such a bunch of b*tches in my life.
the idea that its a female thing is a myth.
some women do it, some men do it
lots of people dont
YES...THIS^^^^^^!!! The biggest b8tch in my life is a male co-worker!0 -
Its simple....WE ARE *****ES! WE DO NOT LIKE COMPETITION OF ANY KIND. We love attention, BUT NOT TO MUCH BECAASUE THEN THATS smoothering US...WE LIKE TO BE TOLD WE ARE SEXY AND PRETTY BUT DONT GET TOO MUSHY...WE WE HAVE A KIND SOLE BUT DONT LET IT SHOW because that would mean we are weak . WE CAN FIX THINGS OURSELVES BUT AT LEAST HELP US AND MAKE AN ATTEMPT > SEE WE ARE JUST A CONMPLETE MESS AND EACH AND EVERY ONE US ARE THAT WAY AT SOME POINT IN TIME!
We are just a different breed!0 -
We are just a different breed!
Want to make some mutts together?0 -
I never insult my own dignity by willingly throwing myself at a woman lesser than myself. I'm a smart alec, yes, and I could be a bit less blunt-but when it comes down to it a lot of people just can't pick their fights right. My solution is to look them straight in the eye (knowing I learned Kenpo from my Cousin) and ask them to hit me; they'll either realize how childish they are, they'll know how confident you are and begin to like you, or they'll hit you (in which case I usually own them anyway). I'm no Cat...'cept at parties0
