I have always heard the term "catty" to refer to women who are being aggressive and sometimes rude. It all goes back to how women are compared to men. When men fight we call them fights but when women fight we call them cat fights because they use words and actions while men just use actions. A man calling another man a "b*tch" or a "Slut" won't do anything but if a woman called another woman that then it would result in a verbal fight followed by some hair pulling because most women don't punch each other in the face like men would.Veronica Dagostinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079086515616226671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-8171711934620388192011-12-06T11:32:11.027-08:002011-12-06T11:32:11.027-08:00Although I do agree with your point that the term ...Although I do agree with your point that the term "cat-fight" can be degrading, it is untrue that none of the superheroes in our class have used some of these techniques. When Buffy first meets the other slayer Kendra, they get in a fight where Buffy tells her, "Don't make me do the chick fight thing" and then digs her nails into Kendra's arm. Buffy isn't kept from using "cat-fight" techniques when they are useful but it obviously isn't all that she uses. I don't know if it is a good or bad thing that she uses them her- whether it shows her resourcefulness or just gives women a bad name.mdassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00867583177732873832noreply@blogger.com
