Agreed.
I know it's a generalization, but I do think women can be even MORE ruthless than men, especially with silent competition. That's what does so many girls in, as teenagers... especially in middle school. (See the book "Odd Girl Out" for a sociological study of adolescent girls who bully other girls.) Some girls get destroyed by uber-competitive women, which is quite sad to witness.
On a separate note, I should amend my previous post by saying that even though I am very aggressive, I don't often *win* things when I'm being competitive!
Usually my aggressiveness gets in the way of my success when competing... I just get over-excited and carried away with the whole thing. My adrenaline goes through the roof. In the end, my losses become a laughing matter and I move on. But I am known to pout sorely after losing a game of Scrabble...
hehe.
