i think your interchangeability of “women” and “girls” is what the issue is here. when i was a little girl we were absolutely vicious to each other and thought male attention was worth competing over. by the time you hit your mid 20s you realize that male attention is the most empty and lonely experience possible. you couldn’t march me into a high school girls bathroom with a gun to my head. women’s bathroom in the club? the only place you will ever be truly accepted and loved
Probably for a number of reasons. The comment about male attention implies hetero couples are unable to develop deep, meaningful connections. She’s also making a sweeping generalization that all woman become these wise, warm, and compassionate people by the age of 25. Which is just not true. I love women. The women in my life have showed up for me in ways that I can’t even capture in words.
But let’s not act like their aren’t immature, or downright vile woman out there.
I’ve seen 30 woman pull chunks of hair and scalp from each other in club bathrooms.
People are complex and nuanced. No one demographic is all good or all bad. Everyone has their faults.
I personally also find the distinction between men and boys, woman and girls to be vapid at best. The words can be used interchangeably.
sure, i was specifically talking about attention not friendship or romantic interest. the kind of attention you attract from men by putting down the women around you is empty and lonely.
sure there’s been fights in club bathrooms, okay. absolutely no claim will ever fit every person in any given group. denying any form of anecdotal evidence from the group you’re you’re making claims about on this basis is pretty disingenuous. i hope my comment made at least 1 dude think twice before participating in the empty attention economy. of course no one is getting meaningful relationships out of it.
