One really sad reality of this is that it's not just men tearing women down.

It's more often women tearing each other down.

And

That's even more painful because it's sadly, I hate to say it, we expect it from men.

And so it hurts that much more when it is another woman doing it to another woman.

How did you deal when women came at you and do you have advice for women who are victims of being unfairly targeted?

I agree with you because I think especially with therapy and, you know,

We have psychology, right?

We know through psychology that women that are attacking other women, it's like there is an insecurity.

There is a pain.

And a lot of times I think online, especially the conversation does stop there, though, of, oh, she's just jealous or she's insecure.

She's going through something.

I mean, I think the term mean girl for the millennial and Gen Z generation, it has been so prevalent.

present in their vernacular.

It is at the forefront of the way that they speak and they look at each other.

She's a mean girl.

She's a mean girl.

She's not a mean girl.

I guess my question, though, to you would be, if we know this, if these people are in pain, then how do we solve this issue?

Like, how can the women who are bullying and abusing redirect that anger and that insecurity not onto other women, but to where?
