Reading Schopenhauer's essay on women, he makes the following remark.

" with women, differences of rank are much more precarious than with us; because, while a hundred considerations carry weight in our case, in theirs there is only one, namely, with which man they have found favor; as also that they stand in much nearer relations with one another than men do, in consequence of the one-sided nature of their calling. This makes them endeavor to lay stress upon differences of rank. "

Earlier he says that a fine lady would often behave disdainfully towards a woman of lower social position. She speaks to her as if she was a lower creature.

This reminds me a little bit of Mean Girls and the main character in particular, who would often criticize other girls by how they look, how poor they are, how unfashionable they are, and the defects of their sex lives.

Furthermore, an ex girlfriend is always outraged whenever her ex boyfriend is seeing a woman who is more humble than her. At least in my perspective.

Can somebody elaborate on what Schopenhauer meant by his comment? Particularly when he says "while a hundred considerations carry weight in our case, in theirs there is only one, namely, with which man they have found favor"
