You see, too oft en the ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT greatest enemy women are up against, is one of us. Not a man trying to bring us down – but a woman. We have worked with these women, we have these women in our families, in our mother’s groups, they write heartless public commentary in our media, on our social media pages. These are the women who don’t just betray us, they betray themselves. There are women who don’t like other women. In fact they hate other women. These women, like their male women- hating counterparts tend to live in denial, with no insight into their deep fear and mistrust of their own gender. They don’t know they are women who hate women. They see themselves as separate and somehow in battle with us on behalf of ‘the men’. In this long-fought gender war, where equity and justice is at stake, these women are traitors. We all know them. Some of them will be reading this, getting annoyed at me.

As a woman, and as a feminist, I want to know why? Why do some women refuse to support other women? Why do some women refuse to acknowledge the existence of a patriarchal system that limits women’s progress in the workforce; a world that sets rigid standards to define ‘feminine’ beauty, and makes our homes the most likely place we will be murdered. You see, this stuff will have happened to them too, but they have internalised their trauma and chosen to love their captor, rather than create community with the fellow aff licted. In all my years of writing and receiving negative flack, it is always these women that hurt me the most. Not with what *YRɸJEGXWEFSYXXLI&]VSR8LIEXVI they’ve said, but that my ‘sister’ would seek to kick me with such gusto.
