[quote=Anonymous]I think fixating on the "mom" aspect of this is beside the point. This is about women's friendships. Not all women's friendships, but a very specific kind of group friendship that CAN be toxic when women engage in passive aggressive behaviors like excluding, gossiping, teasing, etc. It is exactly the behavior portrayed in the movie Mean Girls and sadly many women do not outgrow this behavior and some even grow into it as they age. If you are interested, it's called "relational aggression" and is considered a form of bullying. I have a LOT to say on this subject due to a personal experience years ago that led me to wind up studying it academically. It's real and this whole Ashley Tisdale/Hillary Duff situation is like Relational Aggression 101.[/quote]
