there’s an interesting discussion going on about this salon article.
i’ve been told on more occassions than i can count that i’m “so male.” sometimes, i don’t think that’s a bad thing. usually when i am told that i’m “so male.” it’s for things i’m kinda proud of. the fact that i don’t have a clothing addiction, that i can survive on two pairs of shoes– wearing them until they fall apart, that i don’t wear makeup.
often women have tried to make me feel ashamed of these things. instead of congratulating me on not giving in to the female stereotype, i’m ostracized for not going with the crowd.
really, it’s a no-win situation.

coincidentally i was just having this conversation the other day with my mom, about how women are so much worse at being friends with each other than men are. i don’t get it.
I always feel like I’m from another planet when people talk about this shit, because I’ve actually never experienced it. I suppose because I only hang out with women who hang out with men, if that makes sense.
It’s been hard to be friends with a woman just because they will stab you in the back quicker than a man. They will sleep with your boyfriend or husband and then try to come over and hang out with you. It’s not fair but we do it!
i agree, i mean i have more friends that are guys because so many girls go behind my back and do a lot of underhanded things that are low and rotten.
Women are hard to get along with. My mom and my sister are prime examples. Women are very manipulative and it is sad that females can’t get along like males. It seems the minute a female meets another female, they already have it in for each other. The reason why a men tend to go further in a career, is that they support one another. Women try to keep other women down. It is hard being a woman, because you have the men and the woman against you at times. Most men can never see through women and it just drives me crazy when I try to tell my husband the way they really are. Oh well!
