Woman + Woman = Quarrel

In Chinese Characters, many times individual, basic characters are combined to create different meanings.  Some are very sensible, such as using the symbol for man 3 times, meaning a crowd.


"Good" is written as house + wife because years ago, a man's success was based off his ability to support a wife, family, and home.


Now... 
If you write the character for woman twice, it means quarrel.


Hm............
