You nailed it. My mother and I don't have issues. My mother and my sister don't have issues. But, my sister and me... well, that's a whole other story.
From my "loving" sister, I learned women are to be distrusted because they lie, they hate and they will occasionally kick you in the crotch for imaginary shit. I really am not a girl's girl, and I can trace it directly back to my vacuous, bird brain, jealous, lying bitch of a sister. I don't respect her, and now I don't respect any girl just like her.
I'm prejudice. Of women. Not jealous; prejudice.
my mom has always envied/abhorred my impulsiveness. she's told me as much, and she's never been mean about it, but sometimes she's wowed by what she thinks is my guts (when really, it's just that she's always been rather shy), and other times, she wonders if i'm going to wind up in a dumpster someplace, because i just decided, on a whim, to follow some guy rattling a bag of magic beans at me. LOL
I am not a mother either so I can't speak from that perspective. But you nailed it when you said that women compete with one another. When a beautiful woman walks into a bar, believe me, as many women notice her as men, possibly more. And I read something in a law book a long time ago that I've never forgotten. It was a book written for criminal defense lawyers about the trial process. This chapter was about successfully picking a jury. This statement stood out for me: "All women are inherently jealous of other members of their peer group." (Which is why you want to keep your client's "peers" off the jury if possible. This doesn't explain maternal jealousy; just female jealousy. (I think men have it too; it's just that it's called "competition"!) :D
