you know what though, if women were less worried about competition among us and more supportive of each other, all of us would have fewer problems. We're put into this position of gender-related enmity because we get fewer resources in the first place (lower pay, less time due to housework and predominant responsibility for children, etc), so we feel we have to fight more for things. And, we do. But personally I try to operate on the belief that by supporting other women and not acting cut-throat or competitive, I will benefit, or the next generation will.
In other words, if you don't act intimidated or inferior in a group of women, or judge them, others will eventually learn from your example.
