Mean Girls is a very cleverly written film. Some of the scenes may seem really exaggerated, but I can see where it comes from. The main character would have been a complete outcast if she wasn't so pretty. Since she was, she was immediately accepted into the popular group of girls. This and other dramatic scenes can seem unrealistic, but compared to males, I honestly think girls are more ruthless and mean than males are. Whether it is competitive nature, or insecure behavior, relationships between girls and girls are more delicate than relationships between guys and guys.

I think that women are more inclined to hurt their “victim” psychologically. Girls will get into each others heads. They will call a girl fat to psych her out or some other form of “mental warfare” I guess you could call it. Men are more inclined to just hit each other. I agree though that Cady wouldn’t have been accepted into the school so quickly had she not been pretty.
I agree girls are girls regardless, they are jealous which is why i think they act the way they act. If you cant get the guy,clothes or friends then you are going to be jealous of the person who does. I guess guys dont act that way becasue they dont care much of wht others think. I also think its hard for girls to be more accepted than guys i mean now a days you have to be pretty and have something going on for you. For guys they are more accepted because guys dont usually stereotype each other.
Women are definitely the more ruthless group when it comes to conflict. Like in the movie, Cady imagined how a conflict would be settled by animals in Africa and then snap out of it and see how it actually happened. But, by the end of the movie and the "Burn Book" is seen by the whole school, everyone is fighting in the hallways, exactly how Cady had imagined it in other scenes. This is a bit exaggerated but it speaks to how fights don't need to be fist fights to be devastating and hurtful.
