Damn, my younger sister (16) and I recently had a heart to heart. I'm Muslim and naturally we're pretty reserved and protective of our women folk but she was sick and I was stressed and for the first time I said fuck it and talked to her as an adult. We started talking about high school and the isolation we sometimes feel.

The conversation invariably turned to gender and I opened up to my sister about my thoughts on women; how privileged they seem, how rude, how hypocritical they are. Surprisingly my sister agreed. She then dropped a bomb on me:

Apparently women are actually extremely envious of men. She's hung out with all girl and all guy groups and she told me how much more fun and exciting an all guy group is. She said that most girls don't enjoy doing any of what they do most of the time and that 90% of the 'hanging out' is completely unnecessary bullshit. Every woman sees how free and creative men are from a distance and they realize that they have NONE of that in them. So invariably they feel eternally left out, and so they will manipulate, gain control, and then destroy whatever dynamic the men have going on. Jealousy is a defining feature of what it means to be a woman.

What was it the Bible said? Women will always live in envy of her husband something something?
