It’s politically incorrect, but women know it’s true, and now Time’s Belinda Luscombe has put it in writing.

Women are weapons-grade haters. Hillary Clinton knows it. Palin knows it too. When women get their hate on, they don’t just dislike, or find disfavor with, or sort of not really appreciate. They loathe — deeply, richly, sustainingly. I do not say this to disparage my gender; women also love in more or less the same way.

This starts early and is known as the mean-girls syndrome.
