glib throwaway response: yeah, let's criticise women for being harsh to each other in an environment that is structurally biased against them! because they could use some extra criticism here!

It's an important question because it helps to show that it's not only men discriminating against women, but also a bias shared generally by society. The way in which things break reveals a lot about how they work.
