    I am curious why feminism seems to amplify this instinct, when female intrasexual competition should affect all women?

        Obv, they go a long way to explain negative behaviours like fighting, posturing, verbal bullying & policing others sexuality.

        But we also evolved to be cooperative animals with empathy, compassion & loyalty & form deep bonds of friendship.

        I've had women try to bully me or judge me on my choices but my close female friends support me, encourage me & help me through life shit.

        And this isn't merely anecdotal. There is much evidence of same-sex friendship being incredibly important to humans throughout history.

        So much comes down to the individual's psychology when it comes to balances of kindness, empathy, loyalty, jealousy, aggression etc.

        For intrasexual competition to turn really nasty, I think it takes a specific situation and/or a nasty personality and/or nasty ideology.

        A normally kind person & good friend could get very nasty if someone is flirting with the person he/she is romantically interested in

        The habitual same-sex bully is surely going to have personal traits or personal experiences leading them to take pleasure in that.

        In adolescence exacerbated by hormones & insecurity but I'll never quite trust someone who enjoyed cruelty as a teenager.

        Unless they are thoroughly ashamed of it as an adult & give much evidence of empathy & kindness.

        And ideology produces hostility to an outgroup & particular vitriol for those members of an in-group threatening it with heresy.

        Trying to understand the idea that whenever women exhibit this behavior, intrasexual competition is root cause 1/2 https://twitter.com/YeyoZa/status/877787271830929409 …

        @YeyoZa I'm getting to that. I'm long-winded. I think it is but requires additional psychological drivers
