[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This sounds like another way to make women into an old sexist trope and stereotype. People judge people for all sorts of reasons. Many more than just two.[/quote]

Please tell me about this sexist trope. Women judge other women more harshly than men judge women.

From junior high to Sunrise Senior Living, women judge their friends and enemies and often act on these judgments by saying and doing horrible things. For all the hand-wringing we read on DCUM about what men say to women, we do not read much about how awful women can be to each other.

How many times have you heard "Ugh I can't believe she said that. She's just jealous!!!" Not all women are jealous and "catty" (a term almost exclusively used for women). There is a trend to discount things women say because theyre just jealous, trying to pit women against each other.

There has been a big push in the younger generations to discard this and support other women. Yeah, you may not like everyone, but just because you dislike someone it shouldn't automatically be assumed its because youre jealous. Which is what OPs mom is trying to say (or smug), which I disagree with.

I'm not saying anything about how harshly women judge other women or comparing their judgement to men, only the automatic assumption it's because its based on jealousy. [/quote]
