Do we define it as lacking empathy for others? That is generally found to be men, at least in the studies that I have read.
Do we define it as “cattiness” or “jealousy”? In my experience, that’s only a thing in teenaged girls and occasionally college-aged women. In my experience, for whatever that’s worth, both women and men are pretty good at supporting their own.
That’s a toughie and what I’m about to say may come across as a generalization. I find men are more blunt and can be harsh in what they say (can be assholes). Women are expected to be more kind but when in a scenario with animosity, women can be catty (cunts). So, both sides have their negative and positive traits, just in a different approach. To answer which gender is more “mean”, I’d say women.
Absolutely we are. We are more advanced in linguistics than men are. We know exactly what lethal combination of words to use to morality wound our opponents. It's something that I have to be more cognizant of I get in a heated conversation.
I think girls feel like they have more license to be mean, without repercussions, because they often don't see any downside. Enough people kiss their ass regardless. a lot ot girls go out of there way to avoid even appearing mean tho lol. So I guess that's balance.
From my experience there are women much more polite than men as well as others much more rude than men. It really depends on who you meet I guess. Some of the meanest people i've met have been both men and women.
I believe so. I have seen both men and women being mean, but women have a way to strike right where they need to. They can mess with the mind and also do physical harm when they want. Some will talk for a while and then all of a sudden they drop you. Some guys will be mean and do about the same, but things I have seen and heard makes women meaner.
Yeah i think women ate meaner. We work more phsycologically and behind the scenes as well as face to face, but men just tend to have a more direct attack that isn't long lasting
-Women are also unkind and not that nice to men they are not attracted to... especially if a guy is politely shooting his shot, women are generally mean to the guy if they are not attracted to to him.
I agree in general women are more temperamental and moody but guys can be too.
It all comes from the fact most women use emotions to decide what to do and guys use facts most of the time.
Since only you feel your emotions it comes off as selfish. Facts are facts and people just have to accept them.

I was ready to completely disagree, but I can see why you might think that from a female point of view. Women can very mean to one another, and then carry a grudge that will never go away. Guys can exchange obscenities and call names, maybe even get into a physical fight, and the next day be on speaking terms enough to get work done cooperatively and maybe even resume a friendship.
As for how women and men treat one another, I think there is plenty of meanness and cruelty to go around.

I think sometimes they can be meaner. I recently had a long time friend who I've known since I was 20, unfriend me on social media and get mad at me, because I have a lawn at my house. Where she lives they are on water restriction and they let their lawns die. It's not like that here. It's like, does she really need to be mean about it?
I agree, I think women can be meaner. I think is one of those things where when they are nice, they are very nice and when they are mean, they can be evil. There is no in between. Whereas guys can change they can be a nice guy and turn into a mean one quickly. But I don't think mean guys can be nice though but some mean guys do have a different side to them. 😄. It's almost the same as girls but it's just that its emphasised more. A nice girl is very nice, a mean girl is evil
Not in my experience, but I of course do not know if women are cruel to each other when they are not in a mixed gender social circle. When women have disagreements of course, it is unlikely that they will turn to knives or guns as many men unfortunately do. Killing and raping is pretty mean of course.
100%, although I do constantly get labeled as a "bad guy" my reply to it is that in the context you guys say, I'm a bad guy because I speak the truth 100% of the time and don't care if that's what you want to hear or not. In that case, isn't it better to be the "bad guy"? I think it is. I had to explain that because I knew people would type away immediately, now I don't have to sit through their comments and repeat it.
Yea. But some guys are too sensitive. I've seen my friends so easily get hurt from a girl they had a feeling didn't like them but went with it anyway and she did turn him down. Chicks are fucking picky you shouldn't be surprised and in fact expect the rejection. Women can definitely be rude. They think letting a guy down nicely makes us feel better but it's the opposite. It's like cutting our balls off and adding, "You are a nice guy too" Be blunt from the start so we can move on to the next one
Yes they can be and so can men. If a woman gets mad and starts walking a man will 99% of the time let her get back in car. Usually a woman would leave and make the woman walk. Its really hard to say. Some people of either sex are in a class by themselves
Absolutely, women can get away with much more than men and use this to their advantage. Not only that, women are more emotional so they will act out depending on how they feel whereas men are more logical and will usually think things though

Depends on how you define meanness, really.

The fact alone that you admit all these things already makes you superior compared to other women.

Haha no.. It is not me who down voted u.

Men look colder but they're way kinder than women. Women look kinder but they're bitches.
In my experience, yes.
-Women are usually catty with other women.
-Women are also unkind and not that nice to men they are not attracted to... especially if a guy is politely shooting his shot, women are generally mean to the guy if they are not attracted to to him.

Yeah cause they know where to hit you where it hurts most
Emotionally? Or physically? 😂😂
@Shogun48 mostly emotionally.
