Reading your comment brought to mind my visit with a relative who lives in a memory care Alzheimer's facility... I like to go at dinnertime and visit with her and other residents. A woman at our table kept looking across to the neighboring table and commenting over and over again about a woman at that table as "ugly". "who is that ugly woman over there?" "Look at that ugly woman". I tried to stop it by telling her the other woman was much older than her and so her looks have faded... her answer "that is one ugly woman.. I will never look like that when I get old". Point is that women do compare and judge one another. It is a fact of life.
Exactly, and as soon as a woman starts to feel like she might not be measuring up, out come the claws!
