Years ago, Yentl syndrome was described to explain the gender-based difference in the diagnosis and treatment of CAD in women!
Yentl had to disguise herself as a man to attend school

Do the

dominated field feel the need to be like in order to succeed?
In some of these studies, leaders had adopted dominant masculine behavior at work & had gender stereotypical views of other

As we indicate in
, perhaps women hurting women notion in part associated with the receiver's perceptions and their own gendered stereotypes/expectations.

Doact negatively towards other?
Yes, sometimes they do.

Competition and Ambition is part of human nature
We need to “NORMALIZE” competition & see it as an opportunity 4GROWTH
