Do Women Check Out Other Women?

Do women check out other women? Melissa Lafsky, a popular American blogger, thinks that women compete for men and therefore can't help checking out their peers all the time, and sees it as one of the 'universal rules of femaledom'. I found her article not very scientific but highly descriptive. See what you think.

Are women highly competitive by nature, is this behaviour ingrained in female genes, or is it a partly natural instinct that society has made worse?

NB: What does T&A stand for? (in 'their own [men's] ingrained T&A-gazing stupor')

Now I understand why I 've felt observed so many times. It was not my persecution complex!

Hi Ferran!
I don´t know the reason but It´s totally true the article, what is more, sometimes women can be the worst enemy to ourselves. This article is the perfect evidence, I mean, do you think a man have written a so critical article against men? I think, men always try to appear as victims, the guilty is the woman, of course.

By the way Ferran, I´m interested in improving my writing and do you think it could be possible that you check all my comments and tell me the mistakes I have done?
I would be very grateful.

Thank you very much.

AND WHEN I SAID "THE REASON" IS ABOUT THE QUESTION WHICH YOU MAKE ON YOUR INTRODUCTION.

Hi Manolo and Maria! Thank you for your contributions. Hope you've had a nice holiday.

Maria, your English is really good and the main purpose of this blog is spontaneous communication, so any mistakes you may have made are of secondary nature. Anyway, your request is very fair and reasonable in order to improve your English, so we could check some of those mistakes at the end of class.

Hi all!

Still no answer on the T&A mystery! A clue: men are often accused of being T&A obsessed...

María M. said...

I haven´t got any idea!
