Snarky. Psychology Today. 24 Sept. 2013. Web. 24 Feb. 2016.
The author, a clinical psychologist with the L.A. county Department of Mental Health,
references his fifteen years of experience in the clinical field on how women are more
critical on other women then what men are on other men. Critical, negative or hostile
attitude. Research shows that, compared to male college students, female college
students are less likely to be friends with another female student if they appear to more
sexually promiscuous. Regarding competition research shows if women feel threatened
of being left out a womens response is to exclude a third party. In addition in relational
aggression research shows that womens negative attitudes are a manifestation of
relational aggression. Women social learning theory is that women who are mean-spirited
towards other women are often raised by a mother who didnt feel warmly toward other
women and herself. A majority of female criticism begins from feeling inadequate in
themselves.

Garnder, Ralph, Jr. Mom Vs. Mom. NYMag.com. Web. 25. Feb. 2016
New York Magazine writes about how working moms are viewed differently than stay at
home moms. The main point of the article is that they are viewed differently by Stay at
Home Moms. The article does not speak of how men are viewing these women. The
reasoning that Garnder gives for the way these women, Working Moms, are viewed is
because of jealousy. Stay at home moms may feel the want of being able to be more than
just being experts on school schedules, kids activities and experts on how the home runs
and what makes it run. Where on the other hand Working Moms may also feel jealous of
not being able to relate or to be experts in school activist and home activities because
there efforts are more on work and the work environment.

Real Girls, Real Pressure: National Report on the State of Self-Esteem. Web. 04 May
2016.
Real Girls Real Pressure is a national study that the Dove Self-Esteem fund conducted.
The report evaluated the self-esteem of a girls life that included her looks, her
performance in school as well as her performance in relationships with friends and
family. The results showed that seven out of ten girls feel that they are not good enough

or that they do not measure up to their expectations. The statistics that I will use in my
essay is how these girls perceive themselves in the eyes of other women and in the eyes
of their mothers.
LearnVest. 7 Ways Youre Hurting Your Daughters Future. Forbes. Forbes Magazine,
28 June 2012. Web. 26 Feb. 2016.
Forbes Women featured an article on the seven ways we are hurting our daughters future
by the way we are treating them and the way we view young girls and women. The article
touches on what parents say to their daughters and how they persuade them to believing
that they are not good enough. The article also uses the way parents view or say to their
sons that can effect daughters when they view the differences. The section I will use for
my essay is how we teach our girls to be sugar and spice and everything nice but fail to
teach them to stand up or speak up for themselves.

helped me by wanting to know more information regarding what they were writing about.

In Feeling Out of Control you identified how the author was able to gain some control
through tiling her kitchen. I felt the author more of lost control when she was tiling. She
mentions how she was able to lose control by making a lot of noise, making a mess and
creating the pattern in her own way. I believe the taking control that the author was able
to feel was more in the end result of her tiling.

thoughts.
