Something I, and other people I have spoken to in various circles, have observed:
If one woman in a group of women has a nicer job, handbag, husband, x than the other women in the group, their stance will to the lines of "that fucking bitch! She doesn't deserve such a nice car".
If one man in a group of men has a nicer job, watch, wife, whatever than the other men in the group, their general stance will be "damn! I also want to be _as good as him_".
Women pull down, men work up.
Same shit at places of work: women will fuck shit up for other women with talk behind their backs and what not, no matter how competent or efficient the target his. I haven't yet heard anyone air the observation that men do this also. At most it might sound like "god what an asshole, but he sure gets shit done fast".
