Do you have a paper like in the link or is this a kneejerk reaction based on vibes? Your post history doesn't seem to indicate you've got any authority in the field.

Not everything needs a paper if you experienced it in the flesh.

Your in-the-flesh experience is 80% cognitive biases.

Biases are not random.

Go work or ask any man who ever worked in an all female HR-department, then catalogue the feedback you get. When all points on the graph form a line, is it still a bias?

People say all-male teams are toxic, but they miss that all-female teams tend to be even worse.

Insert “women think Lizzo is sexy until you tell them they look like Lizzo” meme

I believe this all boils down to the phrase:

“Single women keep other women single.”

or "misery loves company"

More like the phrase comes from observed behavioral patterns in reproduction habits of women stemming from biological evolution. The more they can back-stab each other and drag the others down, the higher the chance of getting a higher value male.

Women don't have the testosterone fueled violent tendencies of males to get into physical competition to assert dominance over sexual competitors, so they resort to more subtle and cunning ways of "thinning the herd" of sexual competitors.

Men need to compete much more hard so I think it evens out, if this backstabbing really exists among women it will surely exist among men just the same.
