One wonders how much time *Barry* has spent with women in a tight, hierarchical group, Mother Divine in particular. I suppose if a particular woman were driven to be at the top of a hierarchy, she might endure all kinds of things to stay there, or get there. But I don't think that's what drives most women. They tend to be more team players, and if they're getting something from being in the group, they don't mind if they aren't the ones to rise to the top. Some may even avoid it. Whether that's nature or nurture, I couldn't say. But if they're not getting their jollies from being at the top, there has to be something else they find satisfying, or they wouldn't come back. Doesn't mean everything is perfect, necessarily, but whatever isn't right has to be made up for by something else.
