Men more sarcastic; women still back-biting bitches

There's a new study released on gender differences as they relate to sarcasm. Blah blah, men are more sarcastic, blah blah. This little bit, however, peaked my interest:
Women, however, are champs at sarcasm when it is used to cut other women out of a conversation or a social group, he says.
Relational agression, as it's termed, tends to be a female phenomenon, according to scientists.

I know, at least on a non-scientific level, that this seems to be a sentiment that is echoed among young women. How many times have you been talking to a girlfriend or younger woman only to find out that they're suspect of other women, don't have a lot of female friends, etc. because they think women are bitchy, catty, gossipy, and on and on? This shit has got to stop ladies. Young women particularly need other young women to rely on, confide in, and grow with; we need to stop vehemently opposing each other as mortal enemies (because it's usually due to men, which is so obviously f*cked up). This crap makes me crazy.
