Women reported higher levels of incivility from other women than their male counterparts. In other words, women are ruder to each other than they are to men, or than men are to women, finds researchers in a new study in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

"Studies show women report more incivility experiences overall than men, but we wanted to find out who was targeting women with rude remarks,"

tfw it's the modern "boy who cried wolf" but the boy was actually a girl that was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing

This is one angle on a well understood dynamic. Lots of older studies showing that bullying is an intrasex problem that rarely crosses gender lines. Makes perfect sense when you consider we are evolved to compete for the opposite gender, not against it.
