The Queen Bees ....

To most of us women, this is not a new concept ... in any situation where more than one woman exists ... there seems to be a battle for superiority ... the alpha female ... the queen bee ... even in the most wonderful of relationships, the most close-knit circle of friends ... there seems to always be some level of it ....

In some cases it's so small it can be ignored, in some cases women balance each other out ... one is superior at her career, while the other is supermom ... sometimes it falls so far off the radar you never notice ...

Then there is the middle ground, where you can still stand them, family, friends, whoever they may be, you can
still even  call them your friend ... but when they walk away you are left standing in a pool of inferiority or you're left there thinking that woman is fricking crazy ... what the hell was she thinking ...

Then there are those women that only other women like them can even stand ... the women who are better than every other woman on the planet (in their own minds) ... the ones that cut you off in traffic and cut in front of you in line at the supermarket (they're more important than you, you must know that) ... the ones who have kids that will always be brighter, happier, more athletic and more successful and involved than anyone else's kids, or sometimes their competition reverses itself ... their kids are the worst at everything, the most depressed, the most athletically challenged, the most unsuccessful ... but whether they're the best or the worst ... they are at the end  of the spectrum, never in the middle ... their husbands are the same way ... their marriage ... yep, the same way ... and don't even get them started on themselves ... these are the women I do not understand at all ... so highly competitive at everything they do ... impossible to hold a conversation with, because anything you say they have to one-up (or even one-down) ...

When you have to deal with these women, for work or a social club or activity or anything ... they can make you dread having to do your job or be social ... and if you ever have to have a "disagreement" with one of them ... well you might as well just be prepared for a nice long fight with what will appear to be a brick wall, because these women .... are never wrong ...
