What is it with all the back stabbing, gossiping and generally putting other women down. It hurts and makes my blood boil. We should be helping and supporting each other. At a meeting today the only other two women at a meeting eye rolled when I spoke. I can’t believe I witnessed that.
Any tips or words of wisdom to not let this get to me and strategy to support other women.

You didn’t call them out on it ‘what’s your problem?’ (Or a more polite variation) usually works.

I’m getting far more political as I get older.

Luckily, I don't see this at my work - we're a pretty supportive bunch (irrespective of sex).

I think workplaces are complex. What's your workplace like otherwise? What's your relationship like with these women? What were you saying? Did you ask them why they did it afterwards? Sorry, lots of questions 😄.
