Why Are Women’s Worst Enemies Other Women
Have you often wondered why women are considered women’s worst enemies? How come this statement s not made about men?
How many times will you walk into a social gathering and find men gossiping? Whereas women will gossip about their host in her own home, before the event and after. If they are not invited, they gossip. If they are invited, they gossip. Basically, it’s a no win situation!
There are so many theories on this notion of women being their own worst enemies and if you ask me, personally I feel it is a mindset. Our mindset influences almost every aspect of our lives and generally stems from what you are taught as a child, and affected afterwards by the company you keep. It stems from your own self-worth and perception of yourself, which you then project onto others.
The women empowerment term is used so loosely, not realizing that you can only truly be empowered if the wagging tongue were to stop and you were to actually say something kind to or about another woman/women.
I was recently at an event, and as I looked around the room from the corner I was standing, I witnessed groups of women who have ostracized, spread rumors, gossiped and made comments about the host and everything that she does, yet had the audacity to be “prancing†around pretending to be best friends calling out “Love You†so easily! There was one woman in particular who has never been able to say a kind word about anyone, yet was projecting to be the secondary host at the event.
Backstabbing is one of the most undesirable traits anyone could have. Normally gossipers and backstabbers are because of their unconscious fear or need for control which triggers this unstoppable, wagging tongue.
If we want to truly be empowered, and survive and thrive as women, then we need to learn to respect and honor each other enough not to hurt or betray.
It boils down to your choice of friends, the company you keep, and your own self-image about yourself.
There is still a lot of work to be done to forge healthy female relationships, before we can say we are truly empowered! Let’s try to work on this and empower ourselves and others to be a better more empowered gender!
