We’ve all seen it, how catty women can get about other women’s appearances?

It’s not just because there’s a superior sense of fashion going on here, women really do have reason to hate other women — and it really does come down to boobs and cleavage.

Ladies? Web Watch has a question for you:

When you see a semi-clothed or naked man, do they seem competent to you?
