[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that female friendships can be more fraught but they’re worth it. I have maintained extremely close friendships with about 8 women from various stages of my life and feel so blessed to have them. Especially because parenthood can be so lonely.

I also have close male friends but it’s different. [/quote]

In my experience they can be fraught only because women who love you and care about you will actually call you on your sh*t because they know you and want you to be your best self and know you can do better. You have to have respect and love for them to be able to accept it and grow from it and in turn give it to them when they need it. Women who can’t handle this reduce it to “drama” and appreciate hanging out with men who don’t really have high standards of us and pretty low expectations of women overall and thus don’t care enough to challenge us to be better than our worst natures want us to be sometimes.

If any person is direct with me I respect the heck out of that.

But with female friends and even bosses- sometimes all you get is passive aggressive comments and being gossiped about behind your back. And of course not all women but it's happened so often that I'm really sick of it.[/quote]

But there are clearly women who DON’T respect directness if it’s not flattering, so they choose instead to tag along with the men who don’t care either way. Sure they don’t criticize you or offer tough love and that might look like kindness and affection but that’s only because they truly don’t care enough to bother. [/quote]
