Fight ‘ova’ man

Recently on the Flair desk, after reading Dear Pastor in The Star, we got into a long discussion about women fighting over men.

We all agreed that we would not get into a fist to fist encounter with another woman simply because we  catch her with someone we are dating. He simply isn’t worth it. But obviously there are women who have no problem doing it because it happens all the time, but why? That’s what we want to understand.

As far as Flair is concerned, instead of fighting each other, they should come together and give the man one sound beating and leave him lonely and sore. We are not talking about a beat down like in Beyonce’s recent movie Obsessed where the man was clearly not interested and the temporary secretary went a bit too far. We are talking about the situations where the man has clearly made a conscious decision to be with another woman.

So why fight the other woman? She’s not the one cheating on you, it’s the man. Many ‘women on the side’ are fully aware of their position and of your existence. Others are told that your relationship broke up or are completely unaware of your  existence. We think it’s quite simple. He cheats, you catch him, you leave.

Tell Flair, would you ever fight for over a man?
