85: When Women are Mean to Women
Subscribe to the Podcast!
Rudeness is rudeness. When women are mean to each other, especially in a professional setting, it feels especially icky, like a betrayal. It feeds into the worst stereotypes about women as being shrews, b*tch3s, and queen bees. Why is this behavior still so pervasive?
In today’s show, we dive into what’s behind this behavior and what you can do about it. The tactics discussed can be implemented in any situation where people are using negative communication patterns like mockery, belittling speech, isolating physicality (cutting you out) or being just plain rude.
