Part 7/10:
A critical point emerges about the competitive nature—sometimes fierce—among women. One speaker describes women as “gunslingers,” emphasizing that women often lack support for each other, frequently competing rather than collaborating. This tendency, he suggests, is rooted in a motivational system involving reproductive strategies and social dynamics where women sometimes feel threatened by other women’s success.
He notes that mentorship within women’s circles is uncommon, with men often filling these roles due to perceived or actual barriers among women. This lack of mutual support can perpetuate a cycle where women undermine rather than uplift each other.
