Well, I think I look kind of "prissy" but it's only because of my own issues I have yet to deal with, as in the more anxious I am the more makeup I cake on. But, I understand what you're saying in a way. Girls aren't always ladies. They are catty! But I like a good cat fight.
I think that women are taught at a young age to socialize in a way that inspires competition. That's why I personally befriend the men. And I don't really get along with the females that I usually work with. There's too much drama. And besides, you can't really flirt with the women. Well, you can, but you don't know how they'll take it..
Anyway, I don't know what to tell you. At this point you could try to be nice, but that will only result in more BS, as they'll say your kissing butt. You could just ignore the shots. That works well. If it's also happening to someone else, you at least have an ally. Also, try flirting with the men. That would be even better. If it isn't going to stop, why not at least give them something to hate you for? That's what I'd do. Then again, you're not me...
