Women We Hate: a flow chart

Isn't it time to retire that pathetic old stereotype about women hating other women simply because they're beautiful?

I don't know what sort of crazy Texas cheerleader coven Samantha Brick found herself living among in the French countryside, but the rest of us left junior high behind in high school.

Or by our sophomore year in college at the very latest. That sort of 1950s era insecurity is so 2011.

Modern women are capable of judging each other by a wide range of criteria. I can't even count the number of women who have decided to hate me just because my imaginary boyfriend is a British secret agent. Or because my life laundry seems so much more glamorous than theirs.

My point is, for Brick to suggest that she has earned the status of a woman hated by other women on the basis of looks alone simplifies the nuanced process by which such decisions are actually made.   

Which is why I've created the following chart to illustrate the process.

You're welcome. -SK.

The graphics department around here is a little slipshod. We have corrected the error, which, we feel compelled to point out, in no way subtracted from the scientific merit of the information.

Nuance? *sigh* That's sooo 1999. Pretty much I think most people don't see why the bother is necessary when it's possible to flame away in the comments section of pretty much anybody's claims about anything.

Also, I have a pinot calling my name, and nuance is so time consuming.

Those reds can be so temperamental.

Will print and use as part of a game at next drunken gathering.

Fine, but I will not be held responsible for any hair pulling that occurs. You know how women can get.
