Because people disagree with others and harbor personal dislikes for others. Some people can't express disagreement and distaste politely and reasonably.
I think it's quite appropriate for me to dislike something another dominant woman is doing, and appropriate for me to express criticism--to her, and to others. It's not appropriate for me to throw a tantrum, complete with petty insults.
The notion of universal sisterhood doesn't work for me with respect to women, and it's not surprising that it won't work with dominant women. I like some of the dominant women I'm acquainted with, and I've learned from some and taught others, but I haven't liked some others, and not usually because they're bad people, but rather because our personalities and values didn't match up. This seems reasonable--in a group, you like some people, you don't like others. It's simply important to behave politely to people you dislike. I think, LadyVenom, that your complaint would have better legs to stand on if you discussed social skills and rudeness, rather than sisterhood and support. I'm not obliged to like you or help you or regard myself as your sibling, (though you may be a perfectly good person and someone I would come to like, the jury will remain out on that until I determine whether I like you). However, I am obliged to be polite to you.
