Yeah if this is a true opinion and not just rage-bait then OP really needs to do some inner thinking, because this kind of mindset is not healthy at all.

My closest, most cherised and supportive relationships, platonic or otherwise, have all been with women. The most beautiful friendships I've witnessed between other people were between women. Whenever I see a woman say that women don't form friendships, that women don't have those deep bonds and we all hate each other... I mostly feel pity, tbh. I couldn't imagine it. Especially because it really does seem that the source of it is seeing these other women as competition, presumably for men... and that + the way the overly idealise ~male bonds~ (from which they are excluded), means I can't imagine them having their emotional needs supported by the men in their life either.

AYRT.

Yeah it's a huge projection on their part and it says far more about this type of woman than they'd ever admit to. One of my closest and most meaningful relationships in my life is with my bbf who I've known for 10 years now, we have never once seen each other as competition or tried to drag each other down. We meme together and talk about anything and everything because we genuinely enjoy spending time together.

Thinking that women can't form 'meaningful' relationships with other women is some serious toxic misogyny bullshit I want no part of.

I once saw a post by a woman (the one worshipping bromances) about how she couldn't believe friendships between female characters because she can't find women irl who weren't jealous of her and her beauty and like... my mind immediately went to one of my friends, who is this incredibly gorgeous woman, who's also kind and charming and a joy to be around, and has countless female friends without this seemingly become an issue between them.

Literally everything else about this online woman made her seem like an incredibly unpleasant, self-involved, bigoted person, though. Somehow, I think that had more weight on her lack of friendships (with both men and women) than her looks.

Like, sometimes I wonder if I'm too removed from this because I'm a dyke as uninterested in men and their attention as one can be. But plenty of those friends of mine are heterosexual women themselves and they don't seem to have this issue, so again: as you say, this says more about these type of women than anything else.

And not saying friendships between women can't be filled with conflict but... again, I think they have a VERY idealised view of male friendships. VERY.

DA

Woof. That's some grade A weaponized projection right there.

Oh my gosh that's just... deeply sad. I do think these women sometimes have been hurt by other women and as a result still lash out now, but tbh I was there as a teen: other girls hurt me far more than boys but I also grew up and found women who didn't treat other women as competition and my life has been the better and richer for it.

I'm bi so I get you on that front, I don't see other women as competition for men's attention and frankly I don't care if guys like me at all, it's not a concern. But as you: the straight women in my life are not like this either. I think maturity is part of it for sure and once you get to a certain age vying for the attention of men is... pathetic.

It's like when people say 'ugh women are so dramatic and catty, that's why I'm only friends with guys' when I've met plenty of men who are gossipy, catty, bitches but for some reason they aren't given the same treatment. Anyone can be a dick, it doesn't fall onto any one gender.

In my teen and early college years the worst I received was from fellow girls, mostly because that's who I kept close: friendships falling out in an spectacular way, being socially ostracised by my peers, etc. (the fact that they picked up that I was queer before I did, on some level, and that I was already the "weird one", didn't exactly help). But the WORST behaviour I saw, even if I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end, was from boys. Both among each other (oh, good ol' hazing), and to girls (sexual harassment was fucking rampant). So this idea that women treat each other worse than anyone ever treats anyone, ESPECIALLY presented as a generalised pattern of behaviour... it will never fly with me tbh.
