Yes, it's just part of them.

Working in an office full of women is nothing but drama. They all like to talk to me about each other.

Maybe some women but not all or even most.

When we evolved, men would do battle physically and briefly. The male who lost the battle for dominance in the hierarchy would be forced to be subservient otherwise he may be killed or ostracized (which would also likely lead to death or at least the inability to procreate). The alpha wouldn’t usually kill the male who lost the battle bc he needs subservient males to help with hunting and may lose the trust of the larger group if he seems to vicious.

Women do battle emotionally and over longer periods of time. Their goal is to mate with dominant males and to provide the most they can for the children. These require long, drawn-out, and intricate battles against the other females. As others have said, this tends to abate as the females get older.

This is why men prefer watching sports (especially violent ones) and women watch the Real Housewives of the O.C. Both depict battles—one is physical, the other is emotional.

My wife and my little sister have been best friends since they were running around in pampers, maybe that’s more the exception than the rule.

Absolutely, 100%. And it starts when they're pre-k age. Best friends one week, not speaking the next. That never changes throughout life, it just gets more sinister.

No one hates women more than other women.

As that great American philosopher, Al Bundy, once said:

Agree! I have a couple women outside of my family who I can rely on for help or advice. I’d trust them with my child. I wouldn’t consider them my best friends bc we are grown and married and generally don’t have the time or immaturity for bestie type behaviors. I get along well and I think I am well liked in peer groups. However, I agree that women are bitches and I have no desire to make or become closer with really any other women. I did grow up as more of a Tom boy and get along well with men, but don’t have any guy relationships outside of my spouse/family members.

Yes.
Next question.
