"Women are the biggest enemies of women." To what extent do you agree with this statement?

The word "women" is used for the female gender but there is a whole lot of personalities in them.
The phrase that character differs and that not all two people are the same can be exemplified in this theory and topic.
Some women are wired the way they are by some factors, ranging from the way they are raised, how they perceive success and how they relate to people.

Long before now, as history would have it, women were given little or no room to express themselves, be who they wanted to become. There were a whole lot of restrictions deemed on their lives, segmenting their roles to a particular dimistified position.

In Nigeria, traditionalist believed that the role of the woman is to the 'kitchen and bedroom only', using these noun to quantify the way a woman should be showed they were not lent a wing to fly and they wished to.
However, as time passed and things changed, women started getting recognized in the society and it has being in such a way that it showed as a beacon of light and a literary renaissance moment for this gender.

They started having ample opportunity to more rooms and expressions, ventured into the firm's they wanted to go into, be whoever they wished to be.
This new dawn did not just happen in a continent or location but it was a widespread phenomenon that reached to the ends of the earth.
Successful women began to spring forth, choosing professions and being at the top of their games.

They began so many forums for women supporting women. Women venturing into the businesses men could also do to a point that a phrase was coined out that 'what a man can do, a woman can do it better'. The point that any sector one could ever imagine to go into, a woman would be there.

However, as this new development flourished, the intentions of women was diversified. Some did things with ulterior motives, backbiting, jealousy and envy strolled in.
Hence, the phrase 'women being the biggest enemy to women " could be true but not in every sector.
Myself for example , though not being able to know all the intents of my heart's and what my thought could amount to, I believe this statement will be wrong.

With the history of how women came to have full freedom of rights, it should be a source of inspiration that someone could do something that I can't or won't be able to do at the moment.
Seeing a fellow gender like myself succeeding in her ventures would get me thinking as to how she could amass such an empire, the courage and how she achieved that lot. Infact, I would love to have a sitting with her to ask and inquire of her, how she did such, with knowledge to inspiring me to do more.

For what reasons do women get jealous of each other?

Women get jealous with each other for some reasons.

• I would likely state that women that see their fellow women as enemies, could be from one reason, they do not have a goal or vision of their own.
  Because if one has a goal to meet up to, one would be focused on how and what to do to achieve it, as such what every she does or is doing would be to reach to her expectations and amass more knowledge in her field and gain experience from people even if it's from a fellow woman.

If you know any such woman or have any story related to her, then share it with us.

This story is actually the one of myself.
I am a woman of aspiration and love to teach children. Getting the knowledge from someone that has gone ahead of me was my number one goal and desire.
I got in contact with a very good friend of mine and colleague who has been in the professional industry for a long time. When I saw her, I was amazed by what she has done and even aspiring for more.

Instantly I knew I had a lot to learn from her as someone that has been through a whole lot. One pronounced lesson I've learnt in life is that you don't have to experience something for you to learn, you can learn from peoples experiences once you are willing, able and open to learn.

I linked up with her, and believe me when I say she tutored me with her whole heart. I did learn while lot from her, I even got some connections to how I could make my own business work.
You see instead of being jealous of who she has become, I was more of being excited, happy for her and submissive enough to learn from her.

If we could have people like myself with zero or little concerns for jealousy, this world would get to be a better place. With that, it's a little story of a decision to always think good of yourself and to people around you.

Sometimes women get jealous and harm themselves. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

There could be a possibility of this happening. As there is nothing jealousy couldn't cause, ranging from depression to low self esteem.
But personally am yet to see a real life scenario.
