Lily Allen's take on the male/female dynamic...
Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2009 7:52 pm
I read an interview with Lily Allen today, and she said something a bit bizarre. It is well known Lily is one of those young women who has problems with every other young woman she encounters and seems to generally dislike other girls her age. I asked my mother once why this goes on and she said it is competition for males, and a lot of girls will hate other girls who they think are more attractive than them as it decreases their chances with males if more attractive females are around. Females mammal's see males as a 'resource' - they have to woo them otherwise the most important thing for them to do, to procreate, wont be happening.
Anyway, Lily said something quite odd but quite interesting too. Having stated that she likes the company of men more than women she said she likes being around her male band mates on tour and to see them be approached by women. She said that if they are all in a room and 'four f***ing bimbos' (as she put it) come in and start to hit on them, she likes it when the band turn the girls down and then give the impression to the girls that they are with Lily (just as mates). She likes it when they show to the girls that they are there to look after her and assist her. That makes her feel stronger, shows to the girls that the guys are with her and for her, which makes them feel smaller.
So Lily, who generally hates other women, likes also to show to them that she is getting more male attention than them, hope that this makes them feel smaller, and then she feels stronger and more powerful. Quite odd but quite interesting too. I've known of numerous women who have major problems with other women, for no other reason than they are women, but I've not heard of it being quite like it is with Lily. What do other people think about Lily's stance - and I would be interested to hear what any girls who post on here may think too.
