Maybe it's growing up in a household where they competed for attention with 2 other girls?

I was going to write I can spot a chick from an all-sister household (+2 sisters-- just one doesn't seem to matter) in a mile. Your description is apt. They also tend to be of femi-nazi variety---putting down men constantly.

I have a sibling of each gender and feel very fortunate. I love both of them to death. Having a brother (esp one like men--mr.popularity, star athlete, girl magnet, hooligan/hilarious) really made me understand the male gender well. I idolized him. I, to this day, can't stand huge gaggles of women. I avoid events like that. I find you can't get a large group of women together without them gossiping, back-stabbing or laying on the one women that isn't there. I have a handful of very close women friends, but they are similar that they are no-nonsense, no drama, non-gossipers.

I am very wary of women who make statements like this. You are a woman. D you think you are gossipy and backstabbing? I am a woman, and I am not backstabbing, so I would never make the generalizations you made. Of I hear a woman characterize women like this, I assume she is backstabbing and gossipy.

but she said that she finds - in her experience this to be the case. i didn't see that as genralizing. and you assumption doesn't make much sense. i'm not into cackling and gossiping but every time a group of my cousins get together they do indeed talk bad about the one/ones who aren't there. in this case, i assume they talk badly about me when i'm not around.

I have both brothers and sisters, OP. It depends on a few things, not least of which is birth order, age spacing, and how the parents treat/interact/foster or fail to do any of these things.

It is not cut and dry, though I wish it was.

I have close, healthy female friendships, though I am most close with the men in my family. In a way, I think it can be unhealthy for a girl to be overly reliant on their mother (or a boy to be overly reliant on their father, not usually the case).

I find that most women who have sisters they are close with don't get as close to their girlfriends. Maybe because that bond is already fulfilled.
