I'll touch wood in case I run into someone in the new place, but every time my parents, especially my mother, say that women are cattier than men, and you have to be very careful who you trust, and that workplaces full of women are full of backstabbers because they make cliques and are always competing with each other and it's much easier to get along with guys I'm like. I have no idea what you're talking about. At school, at work, in my private life, most women I meet are lovely. I get along with men well, but women of all stripes of life have also been consistently kind to me. Maybe it's a generational thing or I've been very lucky, but to me that sounds like a skill issue, mom. I think you should meet more lesbians.

#my mother's problem is that she sucks ass at choosing friends #and that she is not averse to joining the rumor mill outside of work #i really think there is a generational issue with women of her age that predisposes them to judge each other very harshly #so many of her friends are bitter and jealous of each other #whenever i say i have plenty of friends but three extremely close ones would trust them with my life no questions asked #they say 'oh three is a lot'#there are like fifteen of you in this group! you hang out with each other at least once a week!#you could have that too if you stopped talking behind each other's backs!#it's so sad #they're with friends but they feel lonely all the same
