is it common to be jealous

[Shantel]

Sorry Auntie Shan, I was trying really hard to phrase things so I didn't come across as a supercilious whatnot but I probably failed.  I really am not trying to lecture anyone but would really like to know...why jealously or envy? What is the point?

I didn't think you were lecture me honey, I was kidding about my own jealousy, just giving Noleen a veiled complement. I really do notice that cis women here do suffer jealousy over women that are either prettier, better dressed or who have a nicer figure than them. I've observed it often in social settings. I'll take it a step further by saying that cis woman not only dress for themselves when they do dress up, and not only for themselves but for the approval of other women and the admiration of men. So when some terrific looking woman comes in a room full of men and women, the men's heads turn and invariably envy based comments are spoken under the breath of a few women. It's just the way it is.
