“Lesbians”
Not at all.
The authors theory: (The women might be checking out their sexual rivals and comparing themselves with them.” ) is right on. Very well describes a lot of woman. I’m surprised this is news actually.
Woman are constantly comparing themselves to other woman in many ways. Another way is thinking the other woman are better mothers than they are.
And I am kind of surpised at how many responses my comment has drawn. It was entirely made as a tonque-in-cheek comment.
