Weird eh? We all shout woman power and say we need to stick together, but we don't mean it. Jealousy quickly takes over and we have to tear them down. What is that? It's like we can't handle the authority, and we certainly won't follow another woman's direction!!! Not when they're the boss....yet a man comes in and we all naturally fall in line.
yeah, we see this behavior even in primate societies where the males will defer to the authority of the Alpha, whereas the females are always competing with other females for access to the alpha male. I hate to be so crude and obviously there are exceptions and nuance, but we do ourselves no favors by denying our biological evolution...
Exactly right! We're a lot more like chickens than we like to admit. Hens will peck each other mercilessly unless a cock is around.🐓 Not saying we should succumb to our animal natures but we need to recognize our tendencies. Women vie for male approval in order to be protected and gain status. It may not make us happy, but evolution rewards survival, not happiness.
There were studies done in the 80s when women entered the workforce and fought so much their bosses were freaked. Among women power has to be dead even or else. What part of the primitive brain dictates that I do not know.
it seems to me that the two sexes have very different relationships to hierarchy.
so I wouldn't say that men are better, it's just that they can respect authority and roles within a hierarchy better than women can.
for example, when a man ascends within a structure, the other men can respect that position and perhaps use that as motivation to get ahead.
when women ascend up a hierarchy, the other women in the group will immediately conspire to take her down through gossip and slander.
any one who has worked in a mid level organization has seen this phenomenon.
the sane women who wake up to this madness are the ones who get out in time, the other ones go down with the ship and become...gay and lame.

Power dead even. Like you can be the boss of women as a woman, but you have to be fat or ugly or crippled. See above. It is damned weird.
Bang on! You've heard the old saying, women don't dress up for men, they dress up for other women. We talk the talk but don't walk the walk.
