The First Thing to Understand:
You don’t, and cannot, understand women. Their mental operations is complex, multilayered, and – to men, and to many other women – quite baffling.
Kipling said it well, in The Female of the Species is Deadlier Than the Male.
The part of that poem that explains Today’s Woman (not that dissimilar from Yesterday’s Woman):
She is wedded to convictions—in default of grosser ties;
Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him who denies!—
He will meet no suave discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild,
Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.Unprovoked and awful charges—even so the she-bear fights,
Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons—even so the cobra bites,
Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw
And the victim writhes in anguish
I leave out that non-PC part that follows.
Look at the behavior of Woke Women, who will actively work to DESTROY their opponents – there is NO mercy. Don’t apologize or beg (as VoxDay would say in his insightful SJWs Always Lie).
If you are not prepared to fight to the death, walk away.
Linda, I’m not usually a fan of your posts here or at France’s place, but lately you’ve got a bit of tooth to what you have to say. I like it. Keep it up.
The female of the species is certainly more tiresome than the man.
Much of the distinction between men and women probably lies in how each expresses aggression. With men, it typically takes place in the open and can quickly turn physical or even violent. Paradoxically, that exercises some restrain on male aggression. Powerful men are less violent because even the weakest men can find a way to turn get even, for example with knives and guns that are hard to stop. Male culture also looks down on a powerful man who abuses a weak man.
Not so with women. With women aggression is typical verbal, either with what is said or when someone is shunned. Since it is not physically violent, less restraints come into play. And much of the verbal violence women inflict on other women is done behind their back, leading to even less restraint. That’s one reason why, in study after study, women prefer a male boss to a female one. A female colleague, fearing competition, will stab a woman in the back while smiling to her face. A male will openly compete. That behavior even has a name, the queen bee syndrome.

… or best when the female can convince the male to do harm to another male. Done through the promise of female acceptance, or fear of female rejection. World without end.
To women, justice (or in their mind “fairness”) is whatever emotional stunt they can pull to control any given situation.
Elmer, I’m not sure that it’s a choice that women make, rather than a visceral response, that is dictated by their emotional state – which, they have less control over than you might think.
Forgive me, Linda, but to some of us, that’s not a surprise. 😉
Might makes right. You’ll live to see. As men get tired of the queen bee.
An animal usually living in the vicinity of Man, and having a
rudimentary susceptibility to domestication. It is credited by
many of the elder zoologists with a certain vestigial docility
acquired in a former state of seclusion, but naturalists of the
postsusananthony period, having no knowledge of the seclusion,
deny the virtue and declare that such as creation’s dawn beheld,
it roareth now. The species is the most widely distributed of all
beasts of prey, infesting all habitable parts of the globe, from
Greeland’s spicy mountains to India’s moral strand. The popular
name (wolfman) is incorrect, for the creature is of the cat kind.
The woman is lithe and graceful in its movement, especially the
American variety (felis pugnans), is omnivorous and can be
taught not to talk.

Not sure why you called the omitted line as ‘PC’. It merely refers back to the earlier line in the poem:
“They [Jesuits] prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws.”
The word “squaw” is now considered to be the equivalent of the “b” word.
