Man and women both have dominance politics. Men do things like shake hands too firmly, stare at each other's eyes, stand while the other person is sitting, play basketball aggressively after work, wear elevator shoes, etc. Women do it in different ways: drama. It's really the same thing.

I think the idea is that women have equivalents for all the male modes of dominance politics (e.g. high heels vs elevator shoes), and then some. Also, women talk openly about the practice of politics more often while men are more likely to create a fiction about 'meritocracy'.
