In response to this bullshit.
You know what, Tumblr? I think 1000+ of you guys are grossly underestimating the awesomeness of having female friends. You can steal their clothes and talk about both Lady Issues and Non-Lady Issues with them and if you happen to get blackout drunk in their company, you can be pretty sure that they will not take advantage of you (aside from maybe taking some regrettable pictures and refusing to untag you in them). They can counsel you on things that, let’s face it, guys generally do not understand (both shallow and serious). I love having guy friends, but I also loooove having female friends. I don’t know why there’s this stigma surrounding girl-girl friendships, but it needs to end.
You say “Girls stab you in the back?” No, kids, bad friends stab you in the back. Gender has nothing to do with it. “Girls are catty?” Not all of us! Just like how not all guys aren’t super-cool chill bros who “have your back” all the time! The genders aren’t divided along such simple lines. Stop acting like they are, and stop encouraging lady-on-lady hate. Because honestly, if you don’t get along with any of the girls you know, I hate to be the bearer of bad news… but the chances are good that you are the problem.
