Why are most ppl usually so fearful of fem diva girls like Piggy?


I've always wondered what is it about bossy, diva, prissy, fem girls that ppl find so intimidating and scary, that they don't find in bossy high strung boys?

For e.g. Piggy dominated EVERY Muppet and they all acted fearful of her, even Skeeter, who was supposedly the tough tomboy.

However, I get the feeling it Piggy's character had been MALE *or if it were a male muppet* and HE tried to boss and dominate everyone, not many *if any* would take it off him, and they would stand up to him. And likely *if he were as prissy as Piggy, HE would be signled out and picked, esp by Skeeter, since tomboyish girls usually LOVE to torment sissy guys.

So what do fem prissy girls have that make ppl automatically fear her, be intimidated by her and be submissive to her?

I used to think it might be the fact that boys wouldn't feel right about beating a girl's ass, so they find it easier just to TAKE it off her, but I'm not sure that's it, b/c like I said even SKEETER was fearful of Piggy. And I've seen this very thing happen in REAL LIFE, it seems like tough, tomboyish girls also allow feminine, prissy, diva girls to treat them like crap and boss them around, and even they act scared of them.


Where as if a sissy boy *or ANY BOY* tried to pick on a tomboyish girl, no way would she take that, in fact a lot of times boys don't even HAVE to pick on a tomboyish girl for her to pick on him and harrass him.

It's funny b/c I've seen tomboyish girls pick on BOYS, but yet the same tomboyish girls who pick on boys, GET picked on by feminine diva girls....

I just dont get it.


It's funny too you NEVER see any boys in this type of role like in Piggy's role or Lucy's from Charlie Brown, or Margaret from Dennis the Menace, where a boy stomps around throwing tantrums, and bossing everyone around.

Just because we lose today's battle doesn't mean we've lost tommorow's war.

Of course those diva qualities didn't last LONG in the transition to the 1984 series, and I'm understating THAT IMMENSELY!

Amanda Bynes is hot, Lindsay Lohan is not
