I blame evolution. Men want 10s, women want 7s with resources. Plus men want lots of women, women want one. Or maybe just a few. So women are under greater pressure to compete physically, and are in direct competition (since we don't want to share) and men aren't under as great a pressure since they're less concerned with having a woman to themselves and more concerned with having many women

thanks, both of you, for your input

Oh, but you know what actually really pisses me off.
There's this commercial (TJ Maxx I think?) where three women are exchanging gifts, woman 1 opens this gigantic.... something, it's a tall glass thing filled with gold glittery junk, woman 2 looks at woman 3 (the giver of the gift) and says "Didn't we have a $20 limit?" with this god-I'm-so-pissed-your-gift-is-better-than-mine look on her face, and woman 3 (giver) says "Yes, we did" with this hah-I'm-so-glad-my-gift-beat-yours smile.

Seriously? Can we not perpetuate the idea that women get pleasure out of spitefully beating each other at mundane things like gift-giving? It's the most obnoxious commercial.

I think I know you well enough to not read any bad intentions into things like this. I like livejournal because it's a fairly small community of us and throughout the years I've erased any restraint I had on my words. I like not having to wonder if the wrong person (i.e., 99% of my facebook friends) is going to read something I write and take it the wrong way.

haha that's ridiculous....definitely sounds like tj maxx.

and i totally agree. i completely abandoned the idea of hiding anything on here several years ago... i just realized that a lot of my tirade probably sounded aggressive. not so.
