Female intimidation is something that isn’t talked about enough. Girls tend to see everything as a competition and whenever they feel insecure or like they’re “losing”, they attack other girls and make them feel like they matter less. Some examples of this could be by giving other girls dirty looks, and girls talking down to each other.

Female intimidation is an insecurity issue, that leads them to feel the need to be rude to other girls. Girls constantly feel the need to be “better” than others as if everything is a competition. Female intimidation takes place in real life, on social media, schools, everywhere you go. Bathrooms are also a hotspot for this because they are relatively unsupervised. Female intimidation is most commonly seen in schools, girls bringing down one another because they want to be “prettier” or get the most “attention”.

Female intimidation has everything to do with self-image, the way we view ourselves, our confidence level, and so on. We see girls in magazines that we envy to be, girls at school that dress trendy and we want to follow along but how do we show confidence without coming off as “conceited”? The key to confidence is being comfortable skin deep, looking at yourself in the mirror at 10 am when you first wake up and being able to look at yourself and see nothing but raw, natural beauty. Not a single hair combed into place, not a single drop of makeup on your face, skin so bare so you could see through it. But, how many girls can actually say they’re beautiful without makeup? Imagine if a majority of the females seen in magazines weren’t thin and they expanded their ideas on what defines a “model”. Then we’d have so much more confidence overall because let’s face it, skinny models have been the “big thing” since forever.

This all relates to female intimidation because when you’re young, you grow up seeing girls in magazines with tiny waists, in music videos you see background dancers that are slim, you see girls with makeup caked on. But at the end of the day the makeup comes off, and people are just regular people. We as a society are so used to seeing what we should look like, and being young and going to school with hundreds of other students, you want to fit in and we tend to care what others think of us. But what’s important is that we don’t care too much, because that’s when people start to seek validation from others. Female intimidation is something that needs to end, instead of giving girls dirty looks why not compliment them and spread positivity, even if you don’t know them, it always means a lot. Especially when you don’t know someone, that’s when it means the most because you were acknowledged by them.

As females, we should be empowering each other instead of shaming one another. We need more woman empowerment because everyone is beautiful in their own way.
