So... according to the most of cliched romance movies and novels (and to some of my close family members)... women can't have friends. Eventually, this follow from a "fact" that all of the woman's life is spinning around dicks and reproduction, in one way or another.
The purpose of women's life is to sit down on a good dick, receive a sperm inside into her womb and then produce and raise children with a material support of sperm's donor. That's the main woman's happiness is about, according to these people. Of course, this all is decorated with romantic attributes, but the core is exactly this.
So... in this setup a friendship between two women can't exist, because all women are rivals. They contend for men's resourses, and that's why women's friendship always shatters down, when they both get known "a good man" and start to contend for him. In this very moment, they becomes enemies. They start to say shit about each other and to make vileness behind each other's backs. Because who cares about other woman's feelings anymore, if you see that you can fulfill a purpose of your life with a "prince"?
And a friendship between woman and man can't exist, because for men a woman is either a body for sex, or a body for producing his future children. She's not a person in any case. If man claims, that he is a friend, it means just that he is "in love" with her, and pretend to be friend to get closer ( to fuck her, if saying honestly ), but this "friendship" is still a lie.
Not saying, that the whole value of woman is calculated from:
How much desire she can cause in men around (despite, she, of course, can't actually have sex with whoever she wants, just with her "prince"... and just if they have a big, big "love") + how much envy she can cause in women around + How healthy and well fed are her children.
There is no place for a friendship or anything like this.
You can argue: what about "love"? Romantic movies and conservative people always claim the importance of love. You can call your beloved person your best friend, so this picture is not actually so cynical, as you depict it. And I'll answer: no, it is. The so-called "love", how they depict it, is not more than a decoration. Look at "traditional" behaviour of "lovers". They never really trust each other. They are never a true friends.
- For example, when man "in love" asks woman, why is she so sad, she never tells that she has a menstruation, or a diarrhea, or a parasites, or venereal disease (which is, in my opinion, is especially important to tell to your sex partner or to potential partner, if you have at least a little care about them), or she just recently got drunk, vomited and now have a horrible hangover. These things never happen to lady. She'll just get blushed and say something like "ummm... I'm feeling not well...".
- They never honestly discuss a problems in their sexual life either, or how each of them likes to do sex, and how they could make things more comfortable to each other and maybe pleasure each other better. Despite of unhealthy over-importance of sex in woman's life and for woman's "evaluation", it's still a something too shameful to discuss honestly (what a blatant contradiction, LOL). Sex is just something to "express love", to "feel loved" (if call a spade a spade, I would rather say, to pleasure a man) or to make children. But if you love, you want a beloved person to feel comfortable, right? No. Who cares.
- They never honestly discuss their feelings toward another people. Even if you and your partner are monogamous (i.e. don't have sex or romantic relationships with other ppl, besides each other), and your couple is stable, you still sometimes will feel attraction to other people, too. If the "lovers" would really care about each other's feelings, they would try to discuss this, too, because all significant feelings of person, you care about, are worth to be taken seriously, considering and discussing.
- I can continue and continue, why in my opinion, the traditional "love" is just a decoration, but not something true, but I'm too tired for now.
It's so depressing. I have no idea, how woman, who believe, that the things are this way, live. Why we see this kind of worldview in romance creative works. Why we see this kind of worldview from out mothers and grandmothers. .
