Women, why do they have to be so catty Blog # 7

Some times I wonder how women can have women friends. Ok, so this is a stretch but, I can’t help but look around me and see so many catty women. It is crazy. I always thought that when I grew up and got out of grade school I would not see this kind of behavior any more because the women would be older have more self esteem and be more respectful of others. Unfortunately, I am in college now and this is not the case. I have found that the queen bees of my grade school are even more demanding, dramatic, that they have more followers, and they have accumulated more malicious ways to belittle other women. It is quite a shame. Even the christianly women, who think that they are not gossipers, really are in reality. For example, I was at a golf tournament, practicing for the next day of tournament play, when a girl from another team came up to me and started talking maliciously about a girl that she had played with from the previous day. I was in shock. I am one to who carefully chooses my words before I speak in order to be kind and not offend any one. My ideals go back to the fundaments of what most mother’s say to their children, “if you don’t have anything nice to say than don’t say any thing at all”, what a great quote. This quote if followed properly could save a lot of people from being hurt. In addition to my personal example, women in the media are eating Sarah Pailn up again for her spending 15, 000 on her wardrobe. The, latimesblogs.com stated that, “it seems you can take the girl out of the beauty pageant, but you can’t take the beauty pageant out of the girl… voters must find it unfathomable for Palin, who has been presented as a woman “like us,” to spend that kind of money on clothes in these difficult financial times, to see her speaking so passionately about Joe the Plumber while plumbing campaign coffers for Valentino jackets and pencil skirts… In Palin’s defense, being a woman in the public eye has its own kind of pressures.”(Booth Moore, Los Angeles Times Fashion Critic)These quotes are an example to a degree of cattiness that is being pushed upon Palin.
One must wonder what it must be like being in the public eye and being constantly spoken about from women in the media and the general public. Any ways, my point is that women can be catty and can hurt the feelings of other women. If we as women could just follow the golden rule that many of our mothers taught us society might not me so crazy!
