Well, you cant really win either way. Thread is basically OP starting a thread asking why so many, yes not all, women are bitches.

And she's listed 3 areas; emotional triggers ( no argument there ), the patriachy - sure there are some things you can blame guys for, and lastly breaking the "code" in quote marks which made me smile

And you've basically come along and said well, I have up to 12x more close female friends than you have nanner nanner, you dont get how that could sound competitive?

Some of those stories you mentioned are inspiring, but what happens with the couple that cant afford to just jump on a plane when friends emergencies happen? You've known most of them for 20 years, so you are talking about the ones you went to high school with or grew up in the same neighbourhood, so really its just mostly because they are just there

And if we did get to know you and those 12 in real life, how long would it take for us to realise its only really 2 or 3 of them you are really close to, and like anyone else on the planet you wouldnt have time for 12 close friends

Karen made another important point too, you need that support most in the diaper hell that is young kids, and by the sounds of it, you and those 12, all your kids arent quite teenagers yet - are you ready for what happens next? Or is it starting to happen now? Which is why you need the "amazing" preceding friends.

Thats the way it is for me, whenever I hear a superlative in front of a noun, I'm like "Ohh here we go" mmmm hmmm. Oh I have such an amazing group of friends, my husband and I have such a deep connection, my kid and I have such wonderful communication....tick tock, tick tock

I make casual friends pretty easily with men and women but I have less than a handful that I could call on at a moments notice. I've been accused of cutting people out easily but this is the easiest option for me.

Patriarchy is not blaming anything on "guys" or "men". Men are only the ones who benefit "most" from it, but men suffer as well.
