Women formegalitarian support circles. When a woman has a problem, the other women in her
circle help her. This structure promotes sharing of resources. Support circles take care of each
member.Women compliment each other and put themselves down to say, "You’re in my circle."
Instead of having set jobs, at different times individuals have different roles. A woman with resources
or skills needed today helps her sisters. They’ll care for her at another time.
Women play games to socialize. In contrast,men play to win.
The downside of women’s support circles is that they’re effective only up to about thirty members.
Decisions require consensus. Women’s circles can talk and talk and talk instead of making
a decision.
Women in a circle exclude other women. Women gossip to say, "You’re in my circle." Women
make "catty" remarks to exclude individuals from their circle.
Only five women head Fortune 500 companies.2 But few women are homeless. The top and
bottom of the GreatMale Hierarchy are far apart. Women’s egalitarian instincts keep them from
society’s depths as well as its heights.
