More women commit 'photo sabotage'
London Free Press ^ | 3 July 2012 | QMI Agency

Almost half of women who responded to a U.K. survey said they've uploaded an unflattering image of another woman to a social media site, knowing full well the woman pictured would hate it.

The survey found that 24% of respondents had purposefully uploaded and tagged an unflattering picture of a female friend in a bikini, despite knowing that friend would be unhappy with it.

Just under half of those surveyed, 45%, had done the same with a photo of a friend in an unflattering outfit, and 41% posted pictures of their girlfriends with no makeup on.

What's even harsher, though, is the motivation behind what MyMemory.com — the photo memorabilia site that conducted the survey — calls "photo sabotage."

Of all the women who committed photo sabotage, 51% said they did it because they didn't like their so-called friend. Another 32% did it for revenge, because their friend posted a bad picture of them first.

Rebecca Huggler, co-founder of MyMemory.com, said she found the politics of tagging fascinating.

Women have time and space in their brain to devote to this sort of thing? Seriously??

Women “sabotage” their own photos all the time..especially on Facebook and dating sites. The classic is they take a downward angle shot of themselves so it doesn’t show their fat body.

Women are their own worst enemy. I learned this through sites such as facebook and pinterest. They are brutal to each other.

I am always amazed by my wife’s tales of estrogen-spitting blood feuds at her workplace. I just don’t see how anyone has the time or energy.

Two guys could get into a fistfight and knock each other’s front teeth out. If we met five years later we’d have a beer and laugh about it.

These are extremist women. Please don’t put us all in the same category, but saying that, who do you think started “office politics” and who took the first bite of the apple? Eve did it to know all the gossip, Adam did because it was food. :)
