I don't buy into that.
I think American or Western women might be
socialised to see other women as threats and
to make no bond with their sisters, which of
course has allowed them to be exploited and
used.
Outside of the western paradigm you will find
women helping other women because they
see themselves in the same oppressed position.
Where polygamy is practised, the wives have to
get along. The senior wife treats the junior as
kind of big daughter, and the co wife reciprocates.
The more western my society becomes the less
women help each other.
When I was first called to the bar, female
attorneys flocked to bring me into their cases,
introduce me to the judges and other seniors
so we did not 'fight' against each other.
Recently, fresh out of law school lawyer girls
go out of their way to be obnoxious and make
everything a war.
I think there is a serious undermining going on
which I've noticed in the black american community,
esp. with the anti-woman lyrics and behaviour of
the black male rappers, and the image of black
woman on television and in the movies.
