Mean Girls


Yes! I watch girly movies too, I'm not ashamed to say I like them. As for this movie, I will say: if you want to watch it and if you feel in mood of watching it, go ahead!!It was funny, and that was its purpose: to be funny and to make a statement. I was particularly looking at how the producers over performed girls being mean with each other and I wondered if it is that the case in real life. I had few observations: indeed some girls tend to be ultra competitive some times. I was talking to a colleague the other day and she told me how she preferred so much to be working with men than with women.
Also, a couple of weeks ago, I read an article in which 1000 women were interviewed, 65% preferred not working with women. So the question really is, do they like working with men because they feel special? Do they prefer working with men to avoid feeling rivalry about their female- workmates? Is is specially the case when there is recognition to individuals to be granted. Men are not so caught up with that. But what do I know about gender differences? All I can say is that when girls put aside their girly rivalry teammate competition, they tend to be great workmates and tend to achieve whatever the goal is. I have been in all-female teams and its been great. Well, at home we are 4 girls and I have noticed that Girl perseverance is very strong, now imagine a bunch working together in peace!!!

Anyhow, the movie was funny.
