I was pondering this earlier... having noticed several times some women on this forum seem very anti-women.
Do you get on with other women or are most of your best friendships with men?
I've always thought I was a girls girl, as I have some fabulous and very close female friends. I like to think that whenever possible I will stick up for womens rights (although not a full on bra burning feminist).
There are times when I feel really shocked at some womens attempts to belittle other women, often simply to make themselves feel better. I notice it here quite often.. and can only assume that it's about getting rid of "competition".
So are you a girls girl?
By the way, I don't feel as though I've been belittled by other women... not on purpose anyway. So this isn't a retaliatory thread... just something I've been wondering about.
I've noticed this IRL but not as much here. Most of the women I knew IRL (especially when I lived in the rural area and also when I was in college) didn't like other women, and preferred men as friends. The men also preferred men as friends, and only wanted women to have sex with and to do their cooking, dishes and laundry...

(I'm cool with the sex part but not the rest!)
This attitude really bothered me. I don't think of myself as getting along better with men OR better with women. I don't believe in gender stereotyping or evo-psych gender myths (check my sig), so I take each person as an individual. I'm straight rather than bi because I like male ANATOMY. If it wasn't for that, and going by personality for who I'd choose as sex partners, then yes, I'd be 50/50 bi.
And I'm a full-on feminist, but wear push-up bras. Go figure. :biggrin1:
Is the definition of a girl's girl one who forms good friendships with other women?
If so then yes I totally am.
I have close friendships with both women & men.
Though I am not super close to a lot of people, the gender of those I am close to is fairly split between the two.
But if a girl's girl is one who is very girlie, takes a jillion years to get ready, fusses a lot, wears hair products and make-up and stiletto heels then no I am not.
Me too... I have friendships with both women and men. And I'd be considered a tomboy, but one that "cleans up nicely" (because I do like cute clothes and makeup, but I also like sports and other stuff like that).
i think most people are arseholes, regardless of gender
HA! Now that I will go along with!!! :biggrin1:
