I don't think that I'm this way. I have lots of girlfriends and I love them to death.

I would say the only thing that really pisses me off are the predatory woman. You know the one's who even though there are tons of single guys around will chase after the ones who already have a wife or girlfriend. Like it's a game and they won the prize if they can get them away from who they're with now. I hate those women. I've seen lots of it in the Navy and they have a name Navy Skanks.

They aren't in the sisterhood but everyone else is great.

locomama:
There are some women that I admit, I really do not understand their intentions either! I think those kind of women are just really insecure. I think everyone needs to realize that we all hold beauty.

I think that some of my former cattiness is natural to me because of my age. I think I'm finally growing out of that stage.

If you really think about it, cattiness, jealousy, bitchiness is all part of the sisterhood. What makes sisterhood special is having the ability to see past it, to forgive it and move forward.

My.02 anyway.

I think it prevents growth. We all have the power to rise above this.

Ha! I HATE bitches like that. (There's that cattiness you were talking about, Alison) They're everywhere in the AF too. Like I tell my husband when he leaves, I trust him...I just don't trust some women who like to fuck around with other chick's husbands.

I think that we have a JU sisterhood going on. With the exception of a couple of girls, we're all pretty much at ease with each other. I know that I am, anyway.

dharma:
I agree. I think for the most part (there are always a couple exceptions), we have a pretty strong JU sisterhood. I am pretty much comfortable with everyone on here.

I feel the same way.

However, the women I have trouble with are the ones that complain and gossip about certain situations instead of tackeling the problem and solving it. I have found that at a lot at the school meetings.

I think anyone who goes after another womans husband should be taken care of in some way. My cattiness comes out at this subject. They are the low of the low.

We all have the power to rise above this.

Yes. I agree. I believe the second sentence I wrote says that.

What makes sisterhood special is having the ability to see past it, to forgive it and move forward.

But sisterhood is understanding that people aren't perfect. Sisters can be bitchy, they can be catty, they can push all your buttons but there is STILL love and caring for another person. I feel the most sisterhood with the female friends I have that I can be bitchy with. That I know will forgive me if I have a lapse into catty-land.

And I am not talking about the betrayal issues some women have with man-pinching.

My dear husband was blind to that kind of chick until recently. I had been telling him for years that they exist, but he never believed me....until he met one for himself.

Now he's down in Alabama, and has been telling people that his wife can make a 500 mile drive in 6 1/2 hours, has the ability to physically take grown men down and inflict enough pain on them to make them cry, and isn't afraid to kick a little ass to defend her marriage. (so take heed, beatch. You have a man already, leave mine - and every other married man in the class, because apparently you're not fussy - alone.)

I don't get why chicks do that. Don't they understand that they're ostracizing themselves from the sisterhood when they come on to other chick's men?
Ha. I guess I really AM catty, huh?

I knew one of these girls, a co-worker, in Florida. She only dated married or involved men. I don't thinks she really thought a lot about herself. She would always say it was safe for her because she didn't want a serious romance.

Do I think that makes you catty? Nah...it makes you strong in the sense that you will defend your marriage. If more people did that, maybe the threat of physical harm, would stop those types of women.

to all (because I think we are all on the same page):
I just think that if we stick together, rather than sabatoge eachother through ruining marriages and other personal attacks, that women can just rise above all of this petty crap. I just don't understand why some women do this to each other. Shouldn't we be proud of each other as a whole?

I think so too. Instead of lamenting about why and wherefore, perhaps we should kick ass first and ask questions later.

I think that we should, and I'm prepared to try.

dharma:
Me too. I just think it's unhealthy to have such hostility and sadness. Especially enough sadness to sabatoge another women (in the cases you were talking about).

I will chime in as the first male.  What you talk about is non-gender specific.  But men usually dont wear their heart on their sleeve, so you never see cattiness (or rarely).  It does not mean we dont have it, it just means we dont act it out.

dr guy:
so what do guys do? I honestly can't remember hardin ever dogging on some dude.
