I believe as men do, women too have codes. There are things as a woman you just don’t do to another woman.
1. You never kiss a woman’s man in front of her face. Granted you shouldn’t do this behind their back either, but that is relying on the honesty of the man. Male honesty is as reliable as the US political process.
2. If a woman’s hand is on a dress/purse/pair of perfect jeans it is her claim. You do not rip it out of her hands or wrestle her to the ground in hopes of loosening her kung-foo death grip.
3. When asked “does this make me look fat?” answer honestly, but not brutally. “I really think the black pants look better” is polite way to tell them that yes, your ass looks like a bread rising in those skinny jeans.
4. If a woman’s purse is on a chair it is a legitimate claim to a chair or space. While at a conference during a dinner, my colleague and I put our purses on chairs to save our spaces. When we returned our purses were on the ground. WTF? I thought the code was globally recognized.
Madeleine Albright has said, “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.” All I have to say is those English bitches better watch out for my pitch fork because it is on!

YES, we have codes.
I love that quote from Madeleine Albright. It’s right on.
The code is the code. I must admit that I have had “ladies” in my life ignore the code and all I have to say is burn baby burn.

That chair was yours.

Even I know about the purse on chair thing. That was crazy.

How could they not recognize the purse on the chair as another woman’s claim to the seat? What else could it mean? The furniture accessorizes?
