By 'we' I meant our society in general.
Western culture generally assumes a level of female consciousness that somehow bonds women together in ways men don't experience.
This is probably not the time for me to have a rant about some of the feminist readings of eighteenth century female identity. It just adds to the noise. It's the consolation prize. Men have the economic and political power, but dont worry ladies, you have the close bonds and sisterhood and the power of life blahdeblahdeblah.
