    Catfights are altercations between two women that typically involve scratching, slapping, hair-pulling and shirt-shredding or verbal insults. The term has been used in American media and culture since the 1940s to describe fights between women in a derogatory or belittling way. While some see it referring specifically to blonde vs brunette fights, the term is also used for fights not exclusively between women.
