This is very interesting to read. I’ve seen the backstabbing, granted, but I don’t think it’s much rise than what guys can do. You’re perhaps just more overtly mean about it?

As a fellow, I too look at the other gender as having a, maybe I wouldn’t have called it camaraderie but that’s a good word for it, amongst yourselves. It can be seen as cliché and annoying how, for teen girls, going to the ladies room seemingly always is a group activity … but really we guys are mostly just envious as we struggle a lot with stoic-ness and so that hullabaloo.
