NYT article “Adult ‘Queen Bees and Wannabees’” from Sunday, January 14, 2024 📰, Styles section.

I would recommend ALL current & future Girl Dads to read this non-fiction book:

Queen Bees and Wannabees: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends and Other Realities of Adolescence by Rosalind Wiseman (which inspired the Tina Fey film 📽️ “Mean Girls”) to be aware of and gain insight into the female dynamic.

Queens Bees and Mean Girls exist and the immature toxic female dynamic continues to exist well BEYOND pubescent years!

Girls & women use PASSIVE AGGRESSIVENESS (behavior which I fking loathe!) and MEAN behavior vs boys/men typically use their fists.

Be on the look out for it even in adult professional settings!

If your daughter is pretty, definitely keep your eyes peeled for her getting bullied by other jealous girls and being mean to her — petty & catty behavior, gossiping & making up lies about her, social exclusion and snubbing her.

Lot of unnecessary DRAMA and it will affect your daughter’s moods and what kind of day she is having.

This is exactly WHY most of friends are men!

No, thanks! 🖕🏼to JEALOUS & INSECURE Mean Bitches!
