When I hear people say that Women are from Mars and Men are from Venus it always makes me wonder what planet I could possibly be from, am I from some minor planet situated between the two? Other then anatomically there’s really nothing feminine about me, yes I’m attracted to men but at the same time I think just like a man. So the other day when I found a book called ‘Catfight – Why Women Compete With Each Other’ I thought I’d finally found my answer, someone who had the same kind of mind as me and could therefore explain all this supposedly natural female behaviour that was just plane weird to me. Well it turned out to be just like ‘Are Men Necessary?’ although this time instead of holding greater contempt towards the dating world I now can’t help but think of women as not only a different species but as lower too. I was about 3 pages into the Introduction when I was struck with a major ‘HUH?’ none of what they were saying was making any type of sense to me, and as I read on it only got worse. The way this book describes the average women’s life it’s like they must sit up for hours at night making out a mental battle plan on how they are going to survive confrontations with the enemy which ironically is every single women they meet with no exception.
If this book is anything to go by women are so simple minded and insecure that the idea of perseverance would never cross their mind. If they are not prefect at something the only explanation is they are being sabotaged by other more successful women around them that were just born gifts from the gods. Through out the book they talk about how because of the sexist treatment of women through out history they should have developed a type of comradely because they all share this common battle, but instead they see each other as enemies and feel that they have no choice but to battle alone, as the victims they are. (It’s easy to tell that at this point nothing could have possibly annoyed me more.)
You have two extremes of the victim the ones that are down trodden no matter how much they try to succeed at being perfect like the other women around them. Or you have the powerful women that succeed in not only perfection but also breaks free from male superiority. BUT! Are constantly challenged by those around her so she feels a need to maintain a constant and tiring façade of perfection. In the end it all basically comes down to one thing were by you can’t help but think that these women are delusional as they seem to believe that the entire world revolves specifically around them.
The women that seem to think they can never gain success look at everyone who is not only better then them in fashion, beauty and career as their enemy but as if to rub salt into the wound think they have it constantly shoved in their faces. They see a beautiful women and are envious of her even in the case of friends they will only maintain long term relationships with those they know will envy them and then to these fiends they will purposely go out of there way to prove that they are better, buy stealing unattainable men. Apparently its an act of superiority it gives them reassurance of their value while at the same time devaluing those around them (double win).
Then you have the powerful women that either constantly bullies or is bullied by those under them. Because they feel that the women below them are resentful of their position. They are rumoured to have slept their way to the top. There is no recognition of their hard work. They are just another victim of their strengths.
With these groups of women they don’t even try to comfort each other because god forbid that there is another women out there suffering the same as they are. They have to be the worst possible victim either suffering because of those above them or those below them. It’s like creating a bubble of perfection, the perfect victim.
At this point I can almost understand why women have made very little advancements in their social order over the years. Whether its conscious or subconscious you can’t help but think even with all the feminist movements women are nothing but delusional, vindictive and paranoid bitches with few exceptions. They say that men have ego problems but as far as I can see these women take this to a whole new level with the way they possess an inability to distinguish friend from foe, in their quest to prove that they suffer the most.
