That is enough preconception to spread throughout the realm of females.
But funny thing is that this stereotype is felt among ladies, too. Only last week, I drove along Kenyatta Avenue and noticed a group of girlfriends waiting to cross the road headed to Moi Avenue. I slowed down for them to cross the road and yes, they hesitated to cross until I used my hand to show that I made way for them. These girls in their 20s crossed and one of them waved saying “Asante”.
Fast forward, why is it tedious for some girls to get along with each other in most environments?
Even in friendship, there’s that behind-your-back conversation going on about your fellow girlfriends. While sayings like a girl can only keep a secret for 48 hours is what seems to flair up in most men’s faces when there’s a girl fight somewhere, I think we can do better.
Girls should be able to look out for each other and cheer up one another much better than the guys do. I always think if there are people who should probably go against one another — it’s the guys. They got a lot to prove when they’re chasing the same girl or are racing against each other’s egos et cetera. When I watch my male friends argue and make up in a mature way, I’m inclined to think girls, too, can do this.
That girls are created with a touch of majesty that is attractive to men is also appealing to ladies. When you meet ladies who get along, it’s till death does them part. For then the world is a better place to live in.
LIONESS
It does not always have to be a competitive agenda. When it’s girls’ day out, girls should be able to tell a fellow girl if she is dressed right for the occasion or if she needs to look a little sexier. When she’s going out on a date, it does not hurt to wish her luck even when you know she is going with a guy you like. (Oh yes) But most importantly, at the workplace, it is always a plus to be at per with fellow girls — give direction to the new ones, be honest about the dislikes and likes.
I know as I write this there’s some girls saying “come on, this is not true!”
Should you be a lady that keeps secrets for over 48 hours, do not hate on fellow girls; you deserve a big hug because you my dear are the reason the real girl code holds on strongly.
And look, Valentine’s Day is round the corner, so being nice is only going to set you apart from those referred to as the “lioness” (better word for b**ch) at work.
