POLL: Do you get along with your own gender?

I think straight men get away with being bitchy much more though - I know some really bitchy straight men but no-one sees them as a bitch because people just don't call them that. Girls are also encouraged into competition with each other in a more serious way than men are which does affect our relationships with each other, but I think mainly it's down to perception. We pick up on certain traits and behaviour because we're looking for them.

I find it odd that most girls hate you. What are you doing for most girls to hate you?

No, you're boring because you don't have a life outside of your partner. They're the worst type of people to be friends with (much worse that bitchy women!).

If we say 10% of the population is classed as intelligent (it's probably more than that),don't you think it's a bit suspicious that someone would say they've never met an intelligent woman? I would think they were so blinded by prejudice that they didn't recognise one when they saw her.

Super man is such a lame hero.

Most DC heroes are lame tbh.

Marvel ftw.

I find guys just come put and say it a lot more rather than being Bitchy to be honest. I know one guy that's quite catty but that's it out !y straight friends.

Girls ****ing hate me. Whenever I meet a new group of girls one of them will always take it upon them to systematically try and destroy my life. So that's always fun.

Having mainly male friends is a big one - girlfriends hate me. I've had numerous incidents where a friends been cheating on their gf and the gf has had a vendetta against me, about the only ****ing person who hasn't slept with them.

My flatmate hated me because I got on with our male flatmates better than her and didn't pander to her by doing her washing up/ letting her do whatever she wanted and order me around. My housemate in second year hated me for calling out her passive aggressive post it notes and the fact she was a total bitch to one of our other housemates.

I was bulloed very very badly at school because some of the girls were just addicted to drama, they'd find it any way they could. When I didn't go along with their narrative of me being at their beck and call and making other peoples loves miserable they victimised me and ostracised me to the extent no one in the schools would speak to me, culminating in a serious physical attack.

At primary school of was the same, girls didn't like me because I played with the boys and called them out when they were mean to others. At least then I could just punch them though so it was OK, they'd leave me alone, once you get to secondary school that's not OK...

Movies always show girls with lots of girlfriends, and guys with guy friends, and people always seem to assume you have friends of the same gender. How common is this actually? I've never had female friends, ever. Even as a little girl, I played with boys. My teachers used to remark on it. Even though I now have some female friends, my friendship group is mixed and very male heavy. I've never got on with girls, on the whole they just don't like me. I tend to find girl groups bitchy and I can't be arsed with it

My boyfriend, on the other hand, has loaaaaaaaaads of female friends. I'd say it's about a 50/50 split.

This got me thinking, is it THAT weird to actually prefer friends of the opposite gender?

Do you get on with your own gender? Why/why not?

I'd class myself as a tomboy, I easily get on with males I like online gaming, football etc but I socialise mostly with females because it's easier for me to maintain a close relationship without any of the strings that could possibly arise.

I support equal rights too, I usually define as feminist so that people are aware that feminism is (or SHOULD BE) about equal rights, and not extremists. Yeah that is stupid. I hold the door for anyone male or female, because it's polite.

I wish we didn't even have to have "isms" - why can't people just not be dicks?

You have a guy that turns green when he's angry.

You don't like going out without your boyfriend and you;re calling other women boring? Hmmm...

Really? Really? Someone who's never met any intelligent women out of the thousands of people we probably meet in our lifetimes is not being sexist? You know that's not true.

There's a few examples, my brother was very close friends with a girl who had many male friends (not many female) my brother fell for this girl and she used him for her own self esteem so many times, when she knew how he felt about her. If she was a nice person she would have distanced herself from him and allow him to move on. I've met quite a few other girls like this in my life, who use the friendships of these guys to make themselves feel better. I'm not saying all girls are like this but I've met a fair few in my time.

I actually prefer bitchiness to the people who "put it all out there". That can just hurt people's feelings and sometimes it's best to talk about them with someone else and then you feel better towards them once you've let it out. Some things need to be dealt with but bitchiness serves an essential function.

Well that's bizarre. People try actually bother to try and ruin people's lives in real life?

The housemate thing sounds like typical housemate stuff to me. I lived in an all-male house for my 2nd and 3rd years and we had plenty of that drama. When you live in a small house together stuff is gonna happen.

I was punched by a girl at school so I don't really approve of hitting other kids because they were being mean to you. It wasn't pleasant having people take her side despite the fact that I'd been hit.

Why are you making a big deal about how she's been bullied by other women. Bit bitchy of you no?

She's probably refering to women like you tbh.

Entitlement issues? Girls get friend zoned too, it's entirely natural if you spend a lot of time in someone's company you might start to develop romantic attachments to the other person. It's perfectly fine to have friends of the opposite gender but if the other person starts to fancy the other one it's entirely unfair to carry on the friendship as if nothing as happened,

You must be very sheltered or live in a fairy land.

Also I don't see how saying nasty things about people behind their back, tarring their reputation without them having any clue whats going on is better than talking to them in a civilized manner and working out your differences.

I do have a life outside my partner. I wouldn't say being interested in comics, animation, antiques, art, galleries and museums, politics, is boring but each to their own.

I can see your point but I don't think someone is necessarily prejudiced just because they've only met one type of person. They could be. But they could also be truthful!

I don't know how there are so few girls who get along with girls, I have so many great female friends! I don't understand how some people only know "bitchy" girls who just care about stereotypically girly things.. Obviously there are some girls I don't get along with, but for the most part I get along fine with girls
