    Women manage to nonchalantly score off same-sex competitors through gossip by disguising it as earnest concern for their targets, even to themselves. https://search.proquest.com/openview/acdd3a0d9a0c54cab0932e2121b09c4a/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=18750&diss=y …pic.twitter.com/tngmAE8SgI

        How do the studies support that trere is a unconscious malicious intent disguised as concern? Everything seems consistent with the simpler hypothesis that women are more concerned.

        Because it’s obvious women gossip about other women to improve their relative reputation. What’s new here is they’re not aware that doing damage is why they feel “concerned”

        Oh my. Could this exploitative & manipulative behaviour be considered one of the hallmarks of #ToxicFemininity ? Why aren’t Gillette helping women to do better? I guess @Gillette don’t want women to do better just like men.

        Women tend to talk more about everything. We're socially taught and naturally built towards caring and how to do that if you are clueless as to what's going on? Our motivations can range from selfish to selfless though, same as the rest of humanity.

        I married this. They don't believe it's gossip, because they 'care' so much, and they're "right". I've been told about next level empathic powers (mind reading) and if someone presents a challenge, they'll be thrown under the next available bus and destroyed, mean girl style.
