Woman’s Inhumanity to Woman

“I am not saying that woman’s inhumanity to woman is on the same level as man’s inhumanity to woman; it is not. But, women have enormous influence over each other; we have the power to encourage each other to either resist or to collaborate with tyranny. Each time one woman tells the truth-ten more do so. Each time one woman fights back, thousands more are encouraged to do so."

But that's a very important OP. Sometimes I think abuse at the hands (or voice) of another female does more damage to a female victim's self esteem than if it came from a man - which is bad enough.
