She'd Have Everything I Wanted (And Too Much I Don't)

Since it's written by women, about women, I guess it's safe to say this is just what women do:

"The awesome power of the queen bee is over other females, rather than males. Yes, males fall for her, too, but the really interesting thing about her is the way she controls her sisters. That's what makes her the queen".... 

There once was a time when middle-class housewives formed hivelike groups to analyze and overcome a shared sense of oppression. Forty years ago, the oppressor was a man in your life, men in general or, if you didn't want your politics to get too personal, a male-dominated power structure,... 

Here's one startling takeaway from The Hive: If a middle-class housewife feels second class in 2013, her oppressor is more likely to be another woman—quite possibly the local queen bee or the queen's ambitious minions. 

Men are excluded for different reasons now. A queen bee's power is exaggerated when her subjects are cut off from men and from the larger world. She might be the bossy friend who pressures you to forgo vaccinating your kids. Or the hostess who gets her kicks excluding you from her spa party.
