Wow. They still exist and they are still biting at our ankles: THE MEAN GIRLS.

Go listen to @gabrielahersham - and she is right; we don’t know what people are going through. People won’t like you. Deal with it. Usually, ITS NOT ABOUT YOU.

But the feeling is real and the question is valid, but the way you process the answer and you metabolise and choose to respond is what the growth and leadership in your life looks like.

Women - let’s do better.

Mean ladies are probably mean to themselves too. Sad.

Afraid as a man, who mentors/ advises many women; senior executives inclusive; this is a insight that I see clearly and often notice that many of my female friends/ clients do not. In fact, many ACTUALLY perform what I call their "Stockholm Syndrome " and instinctively protect the obnoxious/ aggressive/ envious female. Often I believe, through a well meaning, but misguided notion that they may have "mispoken", "miscommunicated ". I often have to point out to them that this sense of WANTING "sisterhood", often goes out of the window, when talented, driven, and financially successful women come to prominence. @gabrielahersham is most definitely thus.

It's the scarcity factor, some people don't realise there is enough of everything (popularity, success, wealth) to go around and their actions reflect their fear

I couldn't agree with you more. It costs nothing to be inclusive!The question is if its ever avoidable because if someone chooses to exclude a person, its only normal to be effected by it. such a shame
