Women's alliances
The ClubHouse: Archives: Women's alliances
Enb | Tuesday, August 08, 2000 - 09:33 am   Here in my home city 4 local radio stations organized a 10 day 'Survivor' type event in a park, winner takes $25,000. It's not quite over yet, but all the men are gone! It's just women left! I find it curious that this same kinda thing is happening on Survivor and on Big Brother....how come women can form alliances like this. Why can't men? |
Bbgunner | Tuesday, August 08, 2000 - 03:59 pm   Maybe because women tend to share feelings with each other more than men and thus "bond" a bit more. Loyalties get formed. Men are more pragmatic about things and relationships. Of course, I'm speaking in TOTAL generalities here, so don't shoot me! Also all alliances are based on at least one commonality between group members. If a woman gets mad at a man, she gripes about it to the other women. The usual result is for the women to begin to band together against the man (witness Josh/Jamie/Jordan on BB). Whether there's any basis for the anger or not, is irrelevant. A lot of times, ALL men bear the wrath whether they actually DID anything or not. Men aren't as apt to make such an alliance over a woman pulling some stunt. They just shrug it off or keep it to themselves (witness both Eddie and Josh on BB) or talk about it with the woman/women involved rather than with the guys. The common bond guys have is...trying to make time with the women! No, please don't shoot me!!!!  |

Bbgunner | Tuesday, August 08, 2000 - 10:22 pm   Yes, and basically, men are !  |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, August 09, 2000 - 10:53 am   You are right about women bonding. We don't need anything to bond against for this to happen, however. It is automatic. There have been 2 best sellers about this very topic. |
