Competition between women: does beauty provoke jealousy?

Women can be so beastly to each other. Women can also be the perpetrators of hatred towards other women. Women can instigate and continue a trail of destruction towards another woman.

It can be very uncomfortable to recognize that women can act just as aggressively as men and cause emotional breakdown in others, especially other women.

There are many diverse and strangely bizarre reasons why women misbehave and jealousy is one of those reasons.

When the green eye of envy shines from the pulpit of a woman’s inner vision, the results can range from mild verbal contact to downright incredibly egregious. Due to jealousy, a woman might seem temporarily insane. Some behaviors include verbal rages that seem irrational and incessant; his rigid body was taut with venom squeezing through every pore. Jealousy is powerful and can destroy both the receiver and the receiver.

I covered my perspective on the Beauty Myth in another article, but I wanted to pay special attention to jealousy in a woman because beauty points to the Beauty Myth.

The Beauty Myth looks at the overall impact on women and I will examine the psychological impact on women. To conjecture the concept and explain the beauty myth, here is a brief overview.

The myth of beauty is an allegorical ideology about how a woman should be to be easily accepted in society. Men, by controlling women, build this ideology. The ideology of beauty as in the Myth of Beauty is not defined, therefore there are no clear guidelines or demarcation.

There are many ways in which a woman gravitates to make herself attractive and appease men and the resulting language, spoken or not, determines how women view themselves. Then women systematically enshrine the essence of the Beauty Myth by sinking into a relentless grooming regimen that includes the use of surgery, cosmetics, and diets. A woman does not have to be aware of the Beauty Myth to be complicit in its language. Control over women by men causes women to lose control of the mind and body as they strive for acceptance. Remember, what the actual concept of beauty should look like is not defined! While this happens locally for women, women see other women as potential rivals. Women compete with other women who compete for the attention of men creating a war between them that may seem comical to some, but is certainly very debilitating for women in a reciprocal way.

Women readily accept striving for “ideal” weight and maintain this notion even at the risk of their own health. In some contexts, this ideal is nothing less than experimenting with your life. In an attempt to mask her own lack of self-esteem, a woman can create sneaky competition with her colleagues, peers, and even friends to appear prettier and therefore more acceptable to men. Is the archetypal jealous woman real or fictional? Just take a look around you.

Women who look at other women as they measure themselves and sometimes leave others feeling substandard. If a particular woman compares herself to another woman and feels she is more attractive than she perceives her “rival” to be, just watch her physiology change prolifically in an instant. If you perceive that this same ‘rival’ presents an attribute that you want to obtain personally, this same change in your physiology is evident, but this time, it withdraws itself. The omnipresence of the Beauty Myth is truly powerful even if its participants don’t understand it. The concept of the Myth of Beauty makes women jealous of other women a certainty.

Throughout my work experience in some companies, I have sometimes felt that it was better to have a man as a manager than a woman. I work passionately to improve the lives of women, so how can I justify the above statement? Well, if your manager is handling her own set of negative self-perceptions and ungraciously she sees you as having something she doesn’t have, well put it this way, her work day can be hell. This information should not be taken out of context. Women are able to effectively manage management roles, I mean the woman who can allow her position to denigrate another woman based on the idea of ​​a perceived threat. I also admit, as uncomfortable as it is, that women in ‘powerful’ positions can use this to increase their own pride by reducing the intention of another woman. The onset of jealousy not only in thought but in practice has some very untenable features for the recipient, the acts performed against her are nothing less than harassment. Even in an informal group of friends, there is always some kind of rivalry, some form of argument that arises from a lack of something, the lowest point of which is self-esteem. However, if we take a look at the lives of much younger women (4-8 years old), you can see a characteristic in them that could explain the neuroticism that follows later.

Young girls are tenacious; they are determined and self-confident. They can appear bossy and know how to fulfill your wishes. They can manipulate others to get their winnings without blinking. The young woman knows who she is and will fight for control of her circle. (This description is archetypally of young women before society teaches them that their voices are not to be heard, another discussion!) Often times, the young woman who sees herself as mentally and emotionally strong will seek out friends who seem strong to her. contrary. of his features. In this way, she will continue to reign. When you become friends with another young woman who later presents herself outwardly with the same strong traits, they may remain friends, but they will experience bouts of rivalry with each other. However, why they would remain friends needs a more detailed explanation. The need to reign is secondary in spiritual terms to the most important aspect of having, nurturing, and keeping friends. This means that while the urge to reign is strong, this is due to the pressures that are exerted on them from their outside world. The need for friends stems from your inner (subconscious) world and is much stronger than the need to reign. Young females, growing females, and adult females will find a comfortable place between them that suits their rivalry whenever is it so friends. So does this mean that the Beauty Myth perpetuates traits already found in women and uses them against them? In my opinion, definitely a YES.

The competition between women to beautify themselves to surpass their ‘rival’ is not done explicitly. Words are not used to determine such acts of rivalry; the competition is clandestine. There are times when a woman will enact her sense of being at war when she negatively invokes her rival’s ‘flaw’, taunting her about her perceived ‘afflictions’. Or when a woman is perceived to have “reached” mythological beauty, the reaction of her partners is all too obvious. Snipers, backbiting, or even silent treatment of poor women are tools used to demonstrate the discomfort that women feel towards their ‘rival’, but which arise from their own lack of a positive self-identity. The need to reign (from a young age) is always present, but it becomes more complex when they get older and now they also compete for acceptance from men.

Girls on the playground demonstrably send another poor girl ‘to Coventry’ simply for having a super pair of shiny shoes that the reigning girl doesn’t have. The teenager who turns on her friend because that boy she likes isn’t reciprocal with her attention seeking activities. The new woman at work who makes the standardized corporate uniform look incredibly perceptively sexy even without trying. Supermodels are playing with their health in an attempt to be the slimmest and therefore the prettiest among their peers. You have learned that this guarantees you continuous work. The media shows background scenes of clichéd women behaving bestially towards each other in the same attempt to reign and be accepted. All movie celebrities seek weight reduction while the camera ‘puts on weight’ and the media screams any imperfections in a woman in a public way. Not all advertising is good advertising! Fights are started by women with other women only for perceptions based on appearance. Especially worse if the female celebrity is newsworthy and overexposed. So all women are affected in some way by beauty and can turn, along with a typically feminine trait, into jealousy. The levels to which jealousy can spread depend on how much the attacking woman feels she has to gain in order to extinguish her rival or, equally, on how much she has to lose.

Here are some explanations for jealousy:

Fearful or wary of being impersonated; fearful of losing affection or position; resentment or bitterness in rivalry; having to do with or arising from feelings of envy, apprehension, or bitterness; vigilant to protect something; intolerant of disloyalty or infidelity, autocratic.

The need to feel beautiful, therefore, accepted by oneself and by others, is inextricably linked to having a better self-esteem. This increases competition in and for women. The ‘rewards’ are for both women and men. However, with the omnipresence of the Myth of Beauty makes men a sure victory for men, whoever wins the competition cannot lose. Until women build their self-esteem on feelings of individualism, compassion for other women, and acceptance of other women and their equally beautiful features, the war against jealousy will continue. The Myth of Beauty continues to reign over the woman who believes she reigns. Until women understand that they are the half-ingenious sense of delusions of men and that they will never aspire to true equality, they will remain spiritually imprisoned. The creation of ‘the woman’ must happen and how this is done is by understanding who they are and moving away from the expectations of men. So, women need to edify themselves spiritually by becoming aware of their inner resources to begin the exchange with men for equality because, at this time, men do not have to trade with women on equal terms.
