There seems to be a strange kind of disempowerment which the feminist movement has apparently only partially addressed (and in some cases made worse) which drives (American) women to a kind of passive-aggressivity where the woman knows she (a) can strike with irresistible force, and (b) against which counter-attack is impossible.
The only solution I can see is to press on, in the teeth of frustration, with a women's liberation agenda (caution: self-described "Feminists" are often such in name only), help women to gain and use more positive power, stop alienating men and other women through narcissistic emotional violence, recognize that there is such a thing as "female privilege" and to stop abusing it, and foster productive connections rather than cauterizing them through selfishness, manipulation, and vitriol, all too common these days as I think we can agree.
