Have you HAD IT with people telling you that you are TOO LOUD, TOO ASSERTIVE, or TOO OPINIONATED?

Do you wish you had a button that said: "Thank you for sharing, now SHUT UP and quit Whining!" ????

I'm a HEARTLESS B*(CH!
YEAH!

Having raised two daughters, I will say that teenage girls are the most vicious animals on this planet.

I also cannot stand pettiness. It's a waste of time.

Oh boy.

To be honest, female attorneys are impossible to deal with. Everything is a death match.

This probably makes me a "mean girl" in some sense, but I've never enjoyed friendships with women (and I am one). The ladies I know tend to be intensly interested in things I am not. It wasn't until I discovered FR that I found women who understood the same things I've always known.

I am more comfortable with men. Men are more WYSIWYG - I don't have to cut through emotional falderol and psycobabble to get the meaning of what they say.

My late mother used to try to console me when I lost the friendship of girl when I was young by telling me I was too smart for them . . . .didn't make the sting go away, but sure made me appreciate, and be confident in, my intelligence.

A little defensive aren't we? Article hit too close to home?

You are so far off - you have no idea.

We are the antithesis of this article. Women who actually like and support each other. Women who applaud each other's achievements. We are the real women of conservative values.

We don't need to be catty - because we are secure in who we are and what we have and appreciate the differences in each other.

You would benefit from making our acquaintance.

;-)

Strong does not equal mean and heartless though. Unfortunately, some women don't know the difference.

Agreed.

Strong = confident, able to do the job in front of you without fail, determined, capable, good with pets...

OOOOOHHHHHHHH the pettiness thing.

To me is it unfreaking real how many women complain about utter b.s. while if they were born two hundred years ago would be working a farm and have their hands in the dirt.

No massages, no nail salon, no day spa, just sweat hard work and real problems.

Don't even get me started.

I've had the unique experience of being up front and center with a few real b**tch petty woman...the type of women who are rail thin and visit your table to see what you are eating...so they can talk about your calorie intake later

I try to rise above it, but will admit that when I am cornered, I will strike back.

I like strong women. I don't like mean, heartless ones.

Generally, strong women tend to be:

-Smart
-Funny
-Independent-yet still capable of being a loving partner to the RIGHT man-without being Co-dependent!
-Confident
-Conservative
-Hardworking
-Modern, without being a slave to the latest fads and fashions
-Has her own sense of class and style that makes her stand out

Mean, heartless women tend to be:

-Annoying
-Feminist
-Liberal
-Man-hating
-Liberal
-B*llbusting
-Liberal
-Heartless
-Uncaring
-Liberal

I would pay good money to see that ;)

You can always ask if they carry their Syrup of Epecac in their purse or do they just mainline it. ;)
