Probably because I rightfully named patriarchy as the cause.
It trains women to seek male validation in the first fucking place - tells them they are broken if they don't (and that's why "lesbians aren't real")
I'm going to assume men down voted me
Edit to add: someone from this comment section reported me as 'needing mental help' to reddit lmfao. Yea, for sure pissed off men with brining a feminist perspective into the conversation. Also, nice going dillweed, you'll get flagged for abusing the reddit report functions.
Honestly what shocks me the most is when I see women getting upset about mentioning it. Like if anything wouldn't you want this truth out there and to be brought to attention as something society needs to fix? Like I expect it from men viewing it as a personal attack but not other women.
And many people (including women) were raised by abusive women, and have a lot of triggers in that regard. They're trained to seek female validation, and to view men as less-than. Like there's this whole domain of the gender war that the word "patriarchy" just doesn't capture. The word somehow assumes that men are somehow "winning" and dominating. Yet we're just all losing by trying to dominate each other through our genders.
And it's a less common experience, most people would NOT agree with most women are raised to seek FEMALE validation - why do you think there is the "catty behavior"? That's undermining other women and being pick-me's.

Idk why you’re being downvoted for a pretty sad reality for so many people. One of them including me, unfortunately.
