Why are women this way?

September 7, 2008

I am a female and it still baffles my mind on how women are so different than men. My issue is in the working place. I work in an office with 19 women including myself and 2 men. The women just cannot get along. They are snippy, cliquish, judgmental, and downright rude. The whole office is run off of hormones. I know that women who read this will be upset at me for saying all of this but I really hope women who read this will look at  themselves and see if they fit in this category: If everyone got along and worked (together as a team) instead of thinking that we are stupid for asking questions, that we are the only ones who make a mistake in the whole office; that we don’t look good because we don’t have our hair done in a salon, etc.  And these are just a few examples of what goes on in a womens’ working world. Yes, I am a female and there are some things about women that I don’t like but I am never rude. I never whisper behind their backs, etc. The men in the office seem to get along with everyone including the other males. I don’t see them at lunch going “Oh my god! Did you see Sally’s hair?”  It looks so stupid! She should go to a salon and get it done. She looks like a bag lady. Men do not do this.  Also when Sally walks up to the girls talking,  they all shut up and walk away. Sally knows that they don’t like her but she doesn’t know why and she goes back to work feeling hurt, self-conscious and trying to figure out what she did.

Why are women this way? Did you ever think that maybe Sally can’t afford to go to a hair dresser? Maybe she is a single mom raising 2 children on her own and would rather feed her children?

Have you ever thought that maybe it would be nice for everyone pitching in on her birthday and getting her a gift certificate to a salon and spa? She would not think that you are doing it because you think her hair is ugly. She would think you are doing this because you want her to treat herself for a day. She probably would love it. She would also feel like you girls really care and like her.

So get off your high horses ladies. You are no better than anyone else. You don’t know how someone lives or what kind of a life they have. Maybe she is a battered wife and I have met a few of those ladies. Maybe she is raising children on her own. You are no better and no worse then anyone else.

I don’t care who you are. black, white, Hispanic, short, obese, homely, teeth missing, etc. I won’t judge you! I will get to know you!

I have always said that you can put 100 men in a working place and they will get along just fine. Put 5 women in a working place and you have a cat fight!
