I promise I’ll never feel the need to cling to you like that slut bitch whore cunt.

Interesting study about intrasexual competition among women:

Intolerance of Sexy Peers: Intrasexual Competition Among Women

The study found that women displayed high levels of indirect aggression against other women who were dressed in what many would consider a sexy manner. Women who were dressed sexier were rated as being more bitchy. Respondents laughed with their friends about them, called them names, accusing them of wanting to sleep with professors at the college where the study was being conducted.

Do you think you rate your peers based on how sexy they dress? Would you hesitate to introduce a woman you consider attractive to your boyfriend or significant other? Would you refer to a girl in a short skirt as a whore or accuse her of trying to sleep with someone based on her dress?

Is indirect aggression a way that females exert their authority over other women in an attempt to impress a mate as some psychologists believe? If so, why do older women who are no longer in competition for a mate still seem to exhibit similar behavior?  Men, do you assume that when a woman displays signs of indirect aggression toward another female that she may be trying to mark her territory, so to speak? 

Obviously terms such as whore, slut, bitch are derogatory, but what about descriptions such as clingy or needy?

As a women, do you find it offensive when a man refers to other women as clingy or needy or laughs about ignoring them, even when it may seem that the woman may be acting in a reasonable manner?

If a friend referred to another women as a slut or whore based solely on their dress, would you feel the need to defend the woman or just let it go?
