Women, like men, are threatened by competition.

Most men would not feel comfortable introducing their girlfriend to a tall, attractive, athletic man. Letting her spend time alone with him, etc.

Let's not hate on women for being competitive with the opposite sex.

It forces them doll up better, so let's encourage it

I'm assuming you mean let's not hate on them for being competitive with the same sex.

There are two fundamental issues. The first is the narrative that women are being prevented from expressing their sexuality (and competing openly in the sexual marketplace) by the patriarchy and the so called rape culture. This article is another nail in the coffin of this idea. The second is that women don't compete the same way men do. Men compete by getting better. When guys see a dude who's more masculine, more successful, cooler or dating hotter women than we are we generally want to emulate them. We improve ourselves in order to compete. Women on the other hand tear each other down. For the most part the women in the study bad mouthed the chick after she left. More importantly, they only bad mouthed her when she was dolled up. Same chick, she's bangble in the skirt and just as bangable in the pants and shirt. This is sending a strong message to the other woman they're chatting with that she better not try and sex it up.
