Women hate other women. That’s the raw truth no one wants to admit. They size each other up with envy and contempt. They gossip, sabotage, and compete over everything, looks, status, men, attention, clothes, followers, you name it.
It’s amazing they’re even able to form friendships at all. Most of those “friendships” are shallow, built on convenience and mutual benefit, not loyalty or trust. The moment one gets more attention or success, the claws come out. Ask any woman how many female friends she actually trusts with her secrets or her man, you’ll hear silence.
They don’t trust each other in the workplace either. Women hate working for female bosses. Study after study confirms it. Women would rather be led by a man than take orders from another woman. Why? Because deep down, they know what female power looks like, catty, emotional, vindictive. Not because she’s “strict,” but because she reminds them of themselves.
And yet, in a twist of absolute cognitive dissonance, these same women will vote for a female politician solely because she’s a woman. Not because she’s qualified. Not because she has better ideas. But because she has the same genitalia.
It’s not progress, it’s desperation for validation.
They’ll cheer for a woman they wouldn’t trust to manage a coffee shop just to feel like they’re sticking it to the patriarchy.
They’ll tear down every female co-worker but post hashtags about “empowered women empower women.”
They’ll talk about sisterhood and unity, then go home and stalk their best friend’s Instagram stories to see if she’s gaining weight or losing attention.
Women’s hate for other women is so deeply ingrained, it’s practically ritual. Yet they’ll align themselves politically with women they would never associate with personally, just to keep up appearances. That’s not empowerment. That’s performative narcissism.
And as always, underneath it all is one common motive, control over resources. Over men. Over validation. Over who gets the spotlight.
As it’s been said, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” But for women, it goes even deeper, because they’re not just chasing money. They’re chasing status by proxy, the illusion of importance gained through association with powerful men or influential circles they couldn’t reach on their own. And they’ll sell each other out for it every single time.
