[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because boys WILL be boys. And girls WILL be girls. The meme gets it right.
Two boys talking: 
Boy 1: "Fake insult"
Boy 2: "Fake insult"

Two girls talking:
Girl 1: "Fake compliment"
Girl 2: "Fake compliment"

I'll hang with the boys any day.[/quote]

This.

Is why I prefer male friends over other women. 
[b]Women are catty and downright evil[/b] much more than men are. 
Men are more blunt and straightforward, at least the masculine manly types usually are moreso. [/quote]

This has not been my experience. I'm sorry it's been yours :( I really value my female friendships with kind, genuine, thoughtful women. My husband is wonderful and we have a very deep connection but most other men I know (including my good female friends' husbands) are shallow and kind of one-dimensional. I couldn't ever have a real emotional connection with any of them. So I guess it really just depends on the individuals you know and not generally that women are catty. I think it also depends what kind of job you have. When I worked as a teacher, women weren't catty. When I worked in social services, women weren't catty. When I worked a more corporate type of job, women were catty. When my daughter went to a fancy ballet studio, the other moms were catty. When my daughter did rec center ballet, the other moms were not catty. Etc.

I think there’s a mom on here who came to anonymously post about dickhead children while telling others to parent who may disprove your point.[/quote]

It must only be my screen, but I missed your name. (I have my guesses).[/quote]
