(12,647 posts)Ever see a dysfunctional family dynamic?
There are women out there taking their frustration, rage and aggression out on their SOs and children in passive-aggressiveness. There are women who are addicted to victimhood, jealousy, or being a queen-bee, as "drama" gives them a feeling of control, even if it would end up killing them or messing up their children. There are women who take as much satisfied glee over feasting on the remains of their "enemies" as a man would. There are women who actively search for ways they can express power. Adrenaline is a drug that knows no gender.
While women have less testosterone than men do when they're younger, estrogen is just as powerful a hormone when its pumping through us. Estrogen is not all about giggles and flowers and bon-bons you know...it's a primary component of our drive to seek out mates.
Humans may be herd creatures, but we are far closer to Chimps and Bonobos then we would like to admit. Women can hunt as well as nurture. Which means women perfectly capable of hurting as well as comforting.
