Female Bullying

I have never understood why any woman feels the need to bully another woman. Perhaps it has something to do with the way I was raised but I do not see the point. Some women do not hesitate to be nasty to other women. The bullying comes in many forms some of which are oh so subtle at times. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I have been victim of this as well as my daughters. Is it jealousy that spurs? It is because they think the other woman weak? Do they really need to knock you down to feel better about themselves? Do they think that sneaking behind your back will not come to light eventually? Do they think lecturing you on something they are guilty of makes their own faults less? I’m pretty open about my opinions but I was taught to keep them to myself when needed. I have had to defend myself to a woman this week when it was not needed and it has left me hurt. I have always been very supportive of my own sex. My grandmothers were strong women. We talked openly about most subjects and those included sex. I see no reason to apologize for who I am or how others perceive me.  I can honestly say I have never bullied another woman. I do not gossip. I have seen gossip destroy lives and I refuse to do it. I am who I am. Like it or leave it.

I think I am going to resume writing here. I miss this blog. There is history here that I do not want to relive but I need to grow and move away from it and the only way is to face all that pain.
