I'm a woman, I've been subjected to it and if you haven't you've lived in a cave. Just think "cheerleaders".

I was "allowed" to be friends with them because I was cute and dressed well and I knew how to draw the guys. I found other friends because I couldn't stand the way they treated others.

I have also been on the other side and as I grew up I matured enough to be ashamed of myself. I think most of it is about competition.

Well, of course I've been subjected to it. All of my life. I still get that attitude from women.

I just learned to get over it a long time ago. I laugh at it. I have enough decent "real" men in my life that I don't need to worry about it.

For me, laughing at it is the best solution. Maybe something else would work for you. I don't know; I really don't know you.

And as for living in a cave...no. Not exactly. I've been living in Baghdad for over two years doing something I love. But, nice guess. ;-)
