How many times have you heard how safe it was to approach the males in an establishment before the females? You are warned how Mrs. Y is such a wicked woman whose highest point in a day is snarling and talking down at people. When you think that the people who have issued this warning are just meddling busybodies who hate Ms. Y and then go ahead to try to discover for yourself the angel that these “busybodies” might have missed in their “unfair” assessment you discover to your shock and horror that the “busybodies” were right and Mrs. Y is the most horrible human walking the side of your planet. You are even more surprised to find out that Mr. Z who is Mrs. Y’s superior is far more approachable and willing to help with your problems. I have been in this situation several times and every time I come out of it, I am plagued by the singular question – why?

After several “whys”, I finally decided that women are like crabs in a bucket. For many people who do not know about the crab-in-the-bucket syndrome, it is one of those syndromes used to refer to situations where people trying to escape an unfavourable situation are kept from doing so by others either out of envy or just maliciousness, so that at the end of the day, neither party gains freedom. This syndrome is the biggest problem facing women today. It is always rare to see women take a united stand on issues that affect them. From feminists who
disagree on the right ideology to pursue to the mother in law who holds down her daughter-in-law to be beheaded to the vicious and unfriendly female exec who hates you for no apparent reason, women have become their own enemies. Some of us have become short sighted and petty and there is no hope for emancipation where members of our specie lack a constructive unified type of thinking.

While there have been obvious advantages to the women liberation struggle as can be seen in the emergence of powerful female leaders, more needs to be done as women continue to struggle on the lowest rungs of the socio-economic ladder. To enjoy a level playing field in all sphere of human activities, women must learn that only a unity of purpose can help them. As an advocate for gender equality, I have lost count of the number of times I have had to debate with men who quickly point out the fact that women are less sympathetic to themselves than anyone else. This is our greatest problem and we must address it.

In all, one can only hope that true emancipation of women will be realized in my time, if not, the future is indeed very bleak because like crabs in a vicious competition to nowhere, our bucket will always be our prison.

There is always a reason. Women and understand women and that's why they hate each other. The first man to understand a woman died laughing, nobody knows why and nobody dared try again since then.


Just take em the way you see em and never try to understand em because you won't succeed and the little you will learn about them will make you to hate them.

Re: Women And Their Crab Syndrome by Nobody: 11:15pm On Apr 27, 2015
Men do the exact same thing. This is not a gender thing. Men hate men in fact men are killing men on a daily basis. Wars, robbery and jealousy are all the times men attack each other.
I know the op speaks on women but I'm just say it human nature and not a gender thing.
Re: Women And Their Crab Syndrome by Nobody: 11:22pm On Apr 27, 2015
It's that self hating mentality. If you think about it girls for centuries have been disliked compared to boys and as we pull away from that discrimination we are still left with the traces of that mentality.

In time when our daughters are treated with love and respect by us as the mothers and by their fathers and brothers that self hate will die and then they could love and respect their fellow woman. I think anyway.

I hear you we are past that mentality that we are inferior to men but some women still suffer an inferiority complex that's why they attack other women.

I simply asked for stats and you give me this garbage!!!

It's a well known fact that GEJ was ruined by the women in his government!!!

Tell me, how many Nigerian female entrepreneurs have the grass to grace story without men!!!

You'all need us, those who understand the game play while empty heads like you are fit for the basement.
