message: Merged the two former sections 'History of usage ..." and "Current usage ..." since the distinction between the two wasn't very clear.  Also, many of the paragraphs did not cite any references. Also moved the "Male" and "Female responses..." forward in the article; seems like a better fit.  Since catfights in the cinema are a major part of the catfight topic, created a new section that lists notable catfight scenes from motion pictures.  Hope this works for everyone.Vortex4id (talk) 07:22, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major revision 

message: This section was recently added to the article.  I do not think it is relevant to the article.  It adds neither color nor clarity to the article and does not expand the reader's understanding.  One comedian's hypothesis about an unproven "sexual attraction" to catfights is hardly authoritative.  Pulling the section to here for discussion.  Rossami (talk) 05:27, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Perhaps combine the seperate mentionings of Latifa into one.
:I'm planning on condensing the whole section into something that actually resembles writing instead of a list at some point. --Malthusian (talk) 23:08, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

message: How far can we go within this topic in terms of opinion vs facts?  Stating whether a particular company is good or bad?, or if particular models used are pretty or not?

thread_title:  Removing uncited section 

message: The original picture featured the Bennett Sisters who were vaudeville performers in the early 1900s.  I deleted for two reason:  1)  The date of the photo (early 1900s) did not synch well with the suggested timeline stating that catfights did not became popular in the U.S. until the 1950s.  2) The photo of two women in a very benign wrestling pose did not support the notion that a catfight is a shrieking, hair pulling, clothes shredding event.
That said, the file was from Wikimedia Commons which is a big plus.  I replaced with a movie poster showing two women catfighting in a prison yard.  The problem is that a cruising hazbot has already told me it was going to delete because it was an orphan (although I would think if it’s in the “Catfight” article it is not an “orphan” but I’m not sure how one argues with the hazbot …) 
I also expanded the Dynasty catfight discussion and added a photo (TV screenshot) showing Linda Evans and Joan Collins in a catfight (the cruising hazbot objects to this photo as well) and added another picture supporting the Miller Lite catfight discussion (but then there is the hazbot issue again).  In line citations were added as needed.  I also added Susan J. Douglas’ observation that catfights frequently feature blondes and brunettes and that perhaps blonde vs. brunette is the natural form of a catfight.  I’m sure many catfight aficionados would agree with this notion so it’s nice to hear this from a woman as well known in cultural and literary circles as Douglas.  Exactly why we like watching dark haired and blonde haired women fight remains unclear although Douglas somewhat suggests that we perceive blondes as good and brunettes as bad.   
Speaking of which, I might add a blonde vs. brunette stub to Wikipedia this weekend. Wonder if the hazbot will object.

message: The Title Description (usually only visible on the app version) reads “Anglo-American misogynistic term for a dispute between women” despite the word “misogynistic” not appearing once in the article. Worth amending? 24.97.201.132 (talk) 00:19, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
