I think maybe women often want to be the best/the fastest/the smartest, etc. and that sometimes clashes when someone better, faster, or smarter is in the same workplace. (I'm talking only workplace here, I know you didn't narrow it down to that in your question.) And that's not a bad thing because who doesn't want to be at the top of the heap? I think you're right that sometimes they feel threatened, and also the point about not having self confidence is a good one. Now, all that said, I'll have to say that I've always worked better with men. I don't lack self confidence and it's never a matter of jealousy, envy, or feeling threatened on whatever level. Those things never came into play... I simply can work with men more easily and it's easier for me to talk with them. I've had some terrific platonic male friends over the years, and I suppose that played into why I'm comfortable in that setting.
