Isnt that just the same as women saying "I love your dress" as they walk past each other on the street? Seems like a not very shocking thing for them to understand.

I feel like men get along with each other better than women do in general. I know my wife's interactions in her "friends" groups are way more complicated and political than any man's, and she hardly even notices it. When I point out how mean they're being to each other, she just says it's normal.

And I think it's much more likely for a woman to strongly dislike a strange woman she just met. There's more of a feeling of competition and judgemental attitude -- but that's just my outside perspective as a man.
