Competition
This just in. New research shows women may be competitive. (Via Instapundit)
"A lot of feminists don't want to admit it, but I think there's a lot of competition between women," says Charles Crawford, an evolutionary psychologist at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada. It's natural that this competition should be strongest when fertility is at a peak, he adds.
Well color me unsurprised. As in Freakin' Duh.
Anyone who belives that bullshit about women are cooperative not competitive should spend a few hours backstage at one of those little girl beauty contests. It's quite educational.
Let's be honest, ladies. Women are just as, if not more, competitive as men, they're just not as overt about it. Generally speaking.
Which is why I'd much rather work with men. The knives come from the front, not the back.

I used to teach in a prison school and noticed that male guards only searched male prisoners while female guards searched both male and female prisoners. I asked the administrator why it worked that way and he explained, "because women are not sexually aggressive". Anyway, it should all be okay as long as the universe keeps spinning around us.

Hello! We women are HIGHLY competitive. How else do you explain the stiletto heels and short skirts?

Although I agree that women are very competitive, I must say that most of the guys that I have worked with were the same way and in the same manner - the knives came from the back in either case.

Women make up 60% of enrollment in higher education. 70% of graduate students in psychology are women. Many law school and medical school classes are majority women. Women are the future.
But how are these successful women going to find husbands equal to their earning potential? Women marry up, men marry down. Where are we going to find these upwardly mobile men, since society seems to be leaving males behind?
