Nasty Girls

I am asking this as an honest inquiry. What makes a woman NASTY or BITCHY?

Why Women Should Get AngryI'm reading a large handful of threads where women are trashing their peers and labeling them nasty, trashy, mean.... on and on. So I am truly soliciting some incite from my female connections on how this term is "earned." I am wanting to hear from only women and hoping they can clearly articulate what it is that rubs one another the wrong way.

I know this is certainly driven by politics with Kamala in the spotlight. But for years there have been Hillary, Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren. The lists are endless. But what makes one disgusting rather than strong? There seems to be a very fine line coming around the corner from confident to catty. Why is Margaret Thatcher or Ruth Bader Ginsberg a hero while Hillary is trashed for having the same strength? I am truly asking.

And outside of politics, it ventures into every other realm of celebrity. Why are the women of The View vixens but yet Tomi Lahren can spew the same venom? Why were old Hollywood stars like Bette Davis and Kate Hepburn, who were known to be bitches, idolized. But modern stars like Jane Fonda, Bette Midler and Cher thrown to the wolves for publicly speaking their consciences? You can rattle off music greats down to C-list celebs on DWTS. I'm confused why it is okay to laugh at any of the Real Housewives shows and yet slam a strong woman on a national debate stage.

So I am throwing this out there. As a male I can certainly have a perspective and an opinion. But it is not my journey or place to mansplain. I am hoping to get a bit more insight on the ground rules for the labeling and name-calling about name-calling. I would think you would all celebrate achievements of peers rather than facing off in dodgeball games with colleagues. Educate me!
