Not that I've ever been accused of being the brightest bulb in the box, but doesn't this depend upon how sensitive a woman's breasts are, and where the particular blow lands? I'm basing my thoughts upon a comment Tanya, of the lamented www.tanyakicksass.com website, once said about her breasts being not sensitive at all, which was a tremendous advantage for her in catfights and a disadvantage in other things.

If its for real, I'd say fight because they genuinely don't like each other.  For entertainment, I like just an arranged fight.  I hate those with a weak set up.  "Oh you're reading my magazine, you used my lipstick and start fighting tooth and nail.  I'd rather see them just show up like pro wrestlers and fight just for the competitive quality and the love of the fight.

Women fight because they don't like each other.  Meaningless unintentional slights are ignored or not noticed if you like each other.  On the other hand, clashing personalities take offense at even the most unintentional actions.

I agree with Beckscat, Jossie, Nikkiukcat, and Sierra -- women get in catfights because they develop a dislike for one another, often due to rivalries and jealousies, based on what I observed happen between my mom, Lois, and her friend and neighbor, Fran.  When Fran first moved to our neighborhood, she and mom became fast friends, but as they grew their beautiful, thick, shoulder-length hair longer and longer over almost 3 years, an unspoken competition developed between them, fueled by the ever-growing attention and compliments they received over their lengthy locks from their husbands (who complimented their rival on her lovely tresses, too), family, and friends.  During the last 10 months Fran lived next door, their friendship soured and they became frenemies as their jealousy grew, along with their hair.  When Fran announced she and her family were moving in 3 months, conditions ripened for Lois and Fran to settle their differences in a way they wouldn't have if they had continued to be neighbors.  A going-away party for Fran's family, and an event involving Fran's poodle, provided the fuel and the spark to ignite an extraordinary hairpulling duel which I witnessed as a boy.

I think women are far more competitive than men and would fight each other frequently were it not for cultural and social "rules" that have come along that say......girls don't fight.  But, one need look no further than todays typical work place to see that is simply not the case.  In every office or job I have ever worked, if there were 2 or 3 women working around each other, you could set your watch on how quickly the "bitchiness" got going.....of course it seldom would end up in a physical brawl but that is only because of the rules society has laid out there.  So, for my take on the question, I'd say women are constantly sizing up other women frequently in the physical attributes area secretly wishing they could go "show that bitch" that she's nothin no matter what she wears or how she thinks she looks.....they would fight each other over the wrong look, or a chance eye contact while waiting in line.....the world is full of "alpha females" wanting to show the other bitches who is dominant.....unfortunately, we don't get the chance to see that as much as we would like......but one would have to admit, in recent years, women in society are getting much more physical with each other as I think those social pressures are starting to break down a bit.  MMA being an obvious example.....one can only hope that for the sake of us guys, it gets to the point of more nakedness as the rules for women fighting publicly continue to relax.....just hope I l'm around to see it..... ;

I agree totally with you, we are FAR more competitive than men, and we all basically don't like and don't trust each other.  Our "friendships" tend to be very flimsy, "best friends" will turn on each other in a heartbeat.  There is one overriding reason why we don't physically fight as much as you would think we would,  it's pretty complex, but it is the main reason there aren't many times more fights between women than there are.  I'd love to discuss that reason, give my views and get the views of others, both male and female in a private discussion if anyone is interested.  Send me a private message and let me know if you'd like to go into it in depth with me.

As for blows to the breasts, I will only say that how much or little they hurt depends mostly on their sensitivity.  Some women's breasts are very sensitive to both pain and pleasure, others are less.

I agree with several of you that we tend to fight just because we don't like each other, and we all tend to dislike and distrust each other.  I would say that HATRED at first sight is a far more common occurrence between us than between two males.  I've even on occasion found myself hating another woman I don't even know, and I feel very sure I'm not the only woman who has ever experienced that.

I just like the idea of 2 strong willed women fighting to the finish each wanting to prove herself the better stronger dominate woman.
