The older I get the more and more I’m convinced women hate each other. Not all of them. Yet if there is any possibility of competition, they will find a way to one-up each other.
But I’m going to suggest (not explain) why I think this happens. From the moment they’re born, little girls are taught to compete rather than get along. And it starts with trivial things like clothing. I’ve never understood why women are so upset over some other woman wearing a similar piece of clothing. Let’s face it, most of these women grew up in BumbleFuckEgypt towns where the closest clothing store that didn’t have K-Mart or Wal-Mart attach to them were 25-30 miles away at a J.C. Penney, Belks or Sears. They usually had to drive over an hour dealing with the metropolitan traffic to find a Macy’s or a Dillard’s.
And I think these stores at least sell more than one design of a dress or pantsuit in different sizes. So, the likelihood that two people who would attend a prom or a formal might have chosen the same thing isn’t something to fight about or at the very least to be critical. The whole fashion thing to me really is something that power that be make women fuss over.
If you’ve listen to the lyrics of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” it’s not Jolene’s fault, but the two-time son of a bitch who is cheating on her. All that Jerry Springer crap was for entertainment to see women fight over some loser who thought making $24,000 a year was a living large because he could afford a one-bedroom apartment.
I’m not surprised when women like Sydney Sweeney say the whole “women empowering” each other movement is “fake.” Sweeney is the current It Woman and she’s very beautiful. I had no idea really who she was until I saw her in the very good movie Reality, where she played Reality Winner. Sweeney is very gorgeous and she has a gorgeous body. But she’s also a good actress.
So, I don’t understand what the beef is. You don’t have to be besties or BFFs with someone just to like what they do or even give them a compliment. And it’s perfectly ok to be happy for them when they accomplish something. While some men act like women only accomplish things because they trade sexual favors, what does it say about all women when they support these lies and misogyny?
Vice-President Kamala Harris has been called a slut and the “original hawk tuah girl” by Alec Lace on on Fox. Yet how come this doesn’t apply to conservative women in power, even though Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert have exposed for their own sexual activity? It’s mainly because many men view women as sexual objects rather than people.
Yet, women are taught to be competitive. Look at the latest Fargo season where Juno Temple’s character, who escaped a very abusive relationship, was criticized by her own mother-in-law played by the wonderful Jennifer Jason Leigh. And even her ex’s third and current wife, played by Rebecca Liddiard, views Temple’s character as more of a threat, even though she knows the history.
And that’s another thing. Women seem to be critical of other women who have been physically abused, emotionally abused, sexually assaulted and even murdered at the hands of a partner/spouse. “Why did they get out sooner?!” is always the response as if it’s just that easy for some people to go places after months or even years of being in a relationship. Reportedly Tina Turner didn’t have any money to buy a cup of coffee when she left Ike Turner. That’s how it works.
In the documentary O.J.: Made in America, one of the jurors, a black woman, on the O.J. Simpsons trial actually blamed Nicole Brown for staying in an abusive relationship. It was almost as if she was predetermined to acquit because in her mind some white woman went after a black man ruining his marriage and got what she deserved. Then, there was the criticism of Christine Blasey Ford during the 2018 Senate confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh. Women criticized her looks, even though the reported sexual assault occurred in 1982. People act like rapists only go after the “pretty women” and the “skanks” get what they deserve.
And yet, they criticize beautiful woman if they are lesbians. Actresses like Portia de Rossi or Alice Braga are blasted for looking too pretty to be a lesbian. In other words, gay women have to fit a certain look. Or the right man hasn’t come around to snag her yet is the mentality.
Ironically, at the same time, men will act like every young man is out wants to add another notch when they date their daughter or niece. I don’t understand the mentality of these people. They think it’s funny to intimidate some 160-pound 17-year-old who’s probably too nervous as it is to threaten violence against them. Yet at the same time, they’re willing to defend someone like Trump who had been repeatedly accused and even found in court to have sexually assaulted women.
At the same time, there have been numerous allegations against Matt Gaetz who was Trump’s first pick for U.S. Attorney General, the nation’s top law enforcement official. Yet, most MAGA are totally find about this. I actually heard some guy defend Trump’s actions saying he has higher standards for the man who dates his daughter than he does for the President of the United States. In other words, he doesn’t give a fuck. I’m sure if Trump grabbed his daughter by the pussy, he’d be upset. Then again, guys like that have probably fantasized about their own daughters because sick-fuck bastards of a feather flock together.
For the most part, I don’t really care that a bunch of white and Latino women couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Harris. I knew it was going to be a hard sell despite all the turn-outs at the Harris/Walz rallies. It’s been reported that Trump just fell below the 50 percent of the popular vote as new results from the western coast states show Harris getting more votes. That won’t do anything as Trump did about 2.5 million more votes over Harris and has received 312 Electoral Votes.
But it just shows you how easily Harris could’ve won if more women supported her, especially knowing what Project 2025 and Agenda 47 basically reduce women to livestock. All the men and women who will say, “Not my daughter,” don’t understand that it’s not some random guy at a party or a nightclub drugging a drink. It’s usually a close friend or family member. With Thanksgiving coming up this week and the Christmas holidays a month away, a lot of families still welcome the relatives they know are the child molesters and rapists to the dinners. Hell, sometimes their victims are family members sitting across or next to their own abusers while everyone posts those stupid “Blessed” photos on social media.
I mean, I guess I should’ve known in middle school how awful women can be to each other. If I don’t like someone, I avoid them. But one day, I was sitting in computer class back in 1992 or 1993 and I overheard a conversation from two other young women about another young woman who I thought was their good friend. I might have been hard of hearing in my right ear since I was a kid, but they were talking like they didn’t care who heard.
I remember the conversation was about how the young woman being dumped on was too good in her studies. Yes, it’s crazy for people to actually want to make something more out of their lives and leave their podunk little towns. And my late girlfriend, Kerry, was criticized and dumped on for a lot of things. She was naturally beautiful and I don’t think she had to get up at 5 a.m. to put on so much make-up and get their hair a certain way by the time they left for school which I know other women I went to school with did.
Earlier this month, Bela Karolyi passed away. He was a famous (and infamous) gymnastic coach known for his draconian style of coaching. In the 1996 Olympics, he was the coach for Kerri Strug and push her to still perform despite having an injured foot. Even though Strug was phrased for her endurance, people now look at it unfavorably. Given her age and size, people could say Strug was bullied into doing what she did.
I could go on with this, but I’m pretty sure I’m preaching to the choir in this post. I’m just recounting what I’ve noticed and what other people fail to recognize. Or maybe they do but they ignore it because it means they’re going to loose some of the slice of the pie they enjoy.
