When girls act out aggression with indirect aggression is that effective?

[BarryLiverstone]

“CBS News) Spreading rumors and mocking someone's appearance may seem like schoolgirl behavior, but new research finds women can also bring that attitude into the adult world. The study calls this type of action "indirect aggression."

It's quite common with adult women today actually. Women tend to engage in this kind of behavior to bond with other women. That's why so many women flock to drama shows on TV. It excites them even if they aren't the ones engaging in it.

Aggression helps them bond? How so

[NathanDavis]

that would depend on the effect you would want to consider... lol

No, not effective. Juvenile behaviour. It's not what you say that matters, it's what you don't say that speaks the loudest.

Meh, happens all of the time but that's okay... its childish and is why men should be in charge.

[BarryLiverstone]

I’m wondering if it’s exclusively childish or if it’s common in older adults

[Opinion Owner]

It's common with older women too

Let me help

"Is (indirect) aggression from women effective?"

This is a more efficient title for your question dear. 💋

[BarryLiverstone]

Thank you. Now you can answer, is it?

[Uzi777]

No thanks!!!

Lol the news finally talking about how toxic females are towards each other. I wonder if this news will really change how females treat each other or if it's just a filler

Same goes for men too. But isn't it bullying?

[BarryLiverstone]

I’m wondering if girls are more indirect whereby when guys are aggressive it can manifest physically or direct bullying as you said.

[Wise4myage]

That makes sense.
