For some reason women feel as if they have to be dramatic, stomp their feet and plot a launch of destruction against their female colleagues instead of addressing an issue, resolve it and move on. And in this light, men are simpler creatures, who can resolve and squash issues immediately instead of letting things linger to the point where there is an explosion 3 months later down the road.

Plus women need to understand that critiques and feedback are not attacks on their personal character, nor are their threats to their career.

All of the cat fighting is ridiculous and in a sense shows weakness, so if a woman ever wants to be taken seriously for a promotion, she has to minimize the drama, stop crying and learn to resolve issues in an unemotional manner.
