“Queen Bee Syndrome”
Yup.
Women hate each other. I see it all the time at work and at clubs. They can be nice but they can also be catty b!tches.
I have to agree with you. That's why the media, from movie themes--the so-called chick-flicks, to magazine articles, talk shows, books, and tv shows for the past decade or so have been pushing this "girlfriend" thing. I think Madison Ave., Hollywood, or whomever the powers that be are trying to irradicate the image that women basically hate each other.
To make matters more complicated, there are now new notions of whether a woman should hitch her star to a man in order to get ahead. It used to be considered just fine, and now looks a little like cheating.
She can blatantly go ahead and do so, and suffer the outright scorn of her female peers, and this is what is partly happening to Hillary, although she has tried to camouflage her actions with a good feminist line.
