Episode 73: Girl Shit is the Best Shit -- Mean Girls and Relational Aggression
Get in Losers, we're going to the mall. Not really. In this episode, Marc and Kristina discuss meangirls and whether women are just catty, nasty people at heart who hate other women and do whatever they can to destroy perceived enemies, or are they conditioned to be that way? We use the rumored beef between Kim Catrall and those other three ladies on Sex and the City as an example of the way women hit at other women.
