A leading gender expert has claimed that more and more women are turning into 'Mean Girls,' and he blames the scarcity of good men as partly responsible for this catty behaviour. u00a0 Hugo Schwyzer, a professor of gender studies and history at Pasadena City College, said women are being forced to be more competitive with each other than ever. u00a0 He stated this is particularly true in the dating poolu00a0-- with fewer 'good' men with marriage potential, women must compromise, while the guys hold all the cards. u00a0 This means that there is far more female rivalry, he wrote on Jezebel.com. u00a0 Even women's success over men in education and the job market is fuelling the 'Mean Girls' trend. u00a0 Though women are delivering higher academic scores than their male counterparts, colleges are limited in female admissions, as they must adhere to rules stipulating a fair 'gender balance'. u00a0 "Individual women aren't just being victimized by these preferential admissions policies, but their relationships with their female peers," the Daily Mail quoted Schwyzer as saying. u00a0 But the biggest player of all, Professor Schwyzer claimed, is the media, which is breeding a culture of women feeling imperfect. u00a0 He cited several major articles that added to this idea. u00a0 It includes Lori Gottlieb's article in The Atlantic, for example, that encourages women to settle and marry 'Mr not-Right' while their 'marital value' is at its peak.
