...thus unwilling to expose themselves to criticism from other women (as another nasty aspect of society seems to train women to criticise each other)
Thank you! I have been attacked more than once for pointing out that some women are not only critical but openly hostile about they way other women look or dress, not to mention their sexual behaviour. Sometimes by the same women I've heard saying openly that someone else looks like a slut in her outfit.
I'm not saying guys are in any way innocent, far from it, but if we regularly hear women referring to those who are comfortable with their bodies or sexuality in negative terms, all it does is reinforce those attitudes.
