The comment “If your man is nice to you, don’t tell your friends about it. The enemy of a woman is another woman” in response to a video of a lady crying because her boyfriend left her for her best friend is both dismissive and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. It implies that women should keep their happiness private to avoid betrayal, reinforcing a negative view of female friendships and sowing distrust among women.

This perspective is damaging because it not only victim-blames but also perpetuates a culture of secrecy and mistrust. Genuine support and open communication are crucial in relationships and friendships. Encouraging women to hide their joy out of fear undermines healthy, supportive relationships and contributes to a toxic environment where betrayal and distrust are normalized.
