And if so what does it comprise of.
Do we all have different ways we treat our own gender?
Eg...mine is:
Don't date your friend's ex.
Stick up for your friend.
Don't compete unnecessarily ...give her space to shine.
Don't sleep with your friend's man or steal him.
Let her know if she is being cheated on.

Any more?

And btw I know plenty who ignore all of this. What do you think?

I am beginning to feel there is no such thing as female comradeship.

My own belief is that everyone has a different moral code hence the fact that people have different boundaries or expectations. Whereas i personally couldnt date my friend's ex who she loved, others would put the man first and vice versa

Are you looking for validation as to your own worth as a friend?

No i dont like my friend's man as person so no chamce of lurve.
I guess i am looking for validation as a friend. For example a friend of mine would go out with my exes i cared aboutbut if i even spoke to her beau i was apparently out of order. I wouldnt go with an ex she cared about but i might date an ex she didnt care about.
Im not saying im superior but we have different values.

Well plenty of people on mumsnet bang on about marriage as though it is the gold standard ( for the women's financial protection rather than to be morally superior of course! )
