Sis, Your Insecurities Are Showing: The Real Reason Women Tear Each Other Down

 

Ever notice how men treat each other like walking success stories, and women treat each other like threats to national security?

One guy lands a promotion, and suddenly he’s got a hype squad shouting, “Bro, you’re living the dream!” Another gets new tires and it’s wings, beer, and a celebration like someone had a baby. Meanwhile, over in the world of women, a girl posts a vacation photo, and the claws come out: “Ugh, I would never wear that.” Cool. Good thing you’re not her.

This isn’t some ancient truth passed down from the gossip gods—this is real life, still happening today. And while not every woman falls into the drama-trap, we can’t ignore the cultural divide between how men and women treat each other’s wins.

Let’s be honest: men just don’t care the same way. They’re content watching someone else shine, especially if it means they get to show up for the celebration without having to iron a shirt. Women, on the other hand, are wired to fix things. We’re perfectionists, taught to measure everything—even other women. So when there’s no actual problem? We invent one. And that invention usually comes with judgment, side-eyes, and passive-aggressive group chats.

That need to compete? It doesn’t always come from a bad place—it comes from a culture where women are judged before they even open their mouths. Men get praised for talent, strength, or smarts. Looks? Bonus points. But women? We’re expected to look flawless just to prove we’re allowed to be strong or intelligent. So what happens? We start comparing. We start competing. We either try to fit in… or we rebel completely.

And don't even get me started on the women who have separate personalities for every group they’re in. Like ma’am, why do you stop cussing, cover your tattoos, and go full-on Stepford Wife with Pamela, Sam, and Robert every Wednesday at 6 PM? Who has time to live five different lives? I’ll pass. As my kids say, “You get what you get, and you don’t get upset.” 

The thing is, some women wear crowns like weapons. Others tip them on your head just to see if you’ll break. And yet, the strongest women are the ones who fix their crowns and keep walking—without needing applause, explanations, or a filtered photo. They don’t shrink to fit in. They show up as they are. And if you don’t like it? That's a you problem.

Imagine if women hyped each other up like men do. If doing the bare minimum—folding laundry, washing our hair—was met with chest bumps and greasy pizza? We’d be unstoppable. But instead of group hugs, we get group judgments. One woman speaks her mind and suddenly she’s “too much.” Another wears something bold and she’s “trying too hard.” It’s exhausting.

And look, before you go tearing someone down for their choices, their lifestyle, or their joy—ask yourself why it bothers you so much. Is it envy? Insecurity? Or are you just bitter someone else has the guts to be loud in a world that taught women to be quiet?

If someone’s doing better than you, great—let it fuel you. Be better. Do better. But don’t forget to give credit where it’s due. Because whether someone made you better or bitter, they still changed you.

So here’s the final thought. The truth bomb.

Shut the f*ck up.

Something’s wrong with you too.

We just don’t give a damn to find out what!
