“Queen bees” hinder women in the workplace | Up to 58% of workplace bullies are women and they target other women 90% of the time. Feminists: why don't you tackle the biggest cause of the problem before whining about men?

I used to work in a call center with mostly women. It was just me and one other guy with maybe 12 other women. The amount of gossip was unreal. Person A would talk shit about person B to person C and then go talk shit about Person C to Person D meanwhile Person B is talkimg shit about Person C to Person D and so on and so forth.

to be fair it was only 2 or 3 women that did the majority of gossip but it was enough to poison the whole center. Dealing with the BS drama is one of the main reasons I will never work in an office ever again

There was a link on science a few weeks ago that was pushing that "queen bees" in the workplace are a myth.

Of female managers, the study seemed to show they helped along and treated women lower level employees well.

Can't speak to the methodology, but a queen bee isn't the manager.

They're the mid and lower level employees that don't want anyone to advance beyond them. I felt like I was taking crazy pills. Did no one in that study actually know what a queen bee was? I got downvoted like crazy for expressing that.

Women were/are/will be women's biggest enemy. Nothing can change that.

Because the feminists are the queen bees. Duh.

Santaball · 2018-04-27T21:48:59+00:00

Because they hate men.

Women don’t have access to chivalry with other women and they have no convenience to blame for their failures such as sexism.

Right now on another subreddit a woman is seen complaining about the sexism involved with her getting fired for being late to work.

Without sexism to blame these ladies still need to be the gender victim so here we are with some trumped up queen bee bullshit.

They should NOT be confused with strong, ambitious women in the workplace

Great except the difference between the two is in the eye of the beholder and that person probably has work related deficiencies.

They don't actually care about helping women, only attacking a vilifying men and their fucked up ideological framework conflates the two as one and the same.

Stick it to them where it hurts. Their own gender.

For the same reason most people don't try and tackle black on black crime. They want there to be an easy scapegoat. With an easy scapegoat they can fool themselves into thinking that they have an easy solution. They lack the intelligence, and the education to see things with nuance. They want an identifiable enemy.

I agree with most of the comments here. Women's jealousy is the main problem. I work in science and there are more men at the top positions (head of the group) than women. However there are more women at junior-senior positions than men.
As one of the few men at the junior-senior positions, I notice some women just don't like to work with other women. Favouritism is also running rampant with women at the top positions.

I have worked in bars and restaurants my whole adult life and have witnessed this first hand. It can be mildly offensive to down right nasty. It usually happens in a group structure. There’s always a alpha bitch and a few subservient beta bitchs that are doing all the bullying.

Forgive my asking but where are the citations? I see one reference and one survey the author said they conducted without details on sample size et al. Did I miss it somewhere?

The website also says it's an opinion piece. Wondering how strong this info is.

The same reason the liberal media doesnt address black on black murder.

Can we not turn this sub into "look at all this stuff that some women do"?

This is such a huge generalization, just assuming that feminists don't care about this and also, not for this sub. This sub is for finding when men's rights are being impeded and then having a discussion about it, not r/womenarebad

ICallEveryoneBabe · 2018-04-27T13:25:46+00:00

THIS IS SO TRUE. And a great point of argument when conversing with feminists.

But going-after Queen bees would be misogyny! Who cares how many women get bullied when the bully is another woman?

We need to stand-up for (some) victims and punish (some) perpetrators so that (not) everybody can work in peace!

I just think some people are assholes. Gender probably plays less of a role than articles on either side of the fence would suggest.

Excellent-Rip1740 · 2022-09-18T14:09:56+00:00

I found that women can feel threatened by a talented or attractive female work colleague. They will secretly hate for no reason

I think we should get rid of the hierarchy at work. If someone working there is being a piece of shit, you just get to beat the ever living shit out of them, bite their ear off or something. That'll teach them.
