Female friendships are awesome and amazing and very supportive. That is all true. They can also be ugly, petty, and filled with why-can’t-I-have-what-she’s-having jealousy. Now, I’m not talking about pseudo-friendships or frenemies. Take that tired trope of BS about female friendships and feed it to the wolves. Nope, I’m talking about real friendships that have more depth than your grandma’s best seven-layer salad.
Fiction, whether in books, TV or movies, doesn’t always depict the true multidimensional nature of real women’s friendships. Shocker alert: We don’t only get together to talk about boys and nail polish nor do we always get along. I know, I totally should have warned you to sit down before breaking that news to you. However, one of my favorite fictional representations of actual female friendship (the good, the bad, and the fake blow job hand and tongue gestures) is Bridesmaids.
