There is a strong tendency for women to be super critical of each other. I'm not sure why or what motivates it, but the level of disrepect and mistrust for members of our own gender is high and the examples are numerous. To think that women are more likely to vote for another woman simply b/c of her gender is about as dellusional as those folks who think Black voters will naturally vote for someone of their own race. For good or ill, self-preservation appears to be a stronger motivation for doing a lot of things. Survival instinct must be stronger then cultural or gender affiliations.
