In Miss Congeniality, Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) gives a little speech during her pageant interview about female competition.
She admits that โWe (women) all secretly hope the other one will trip and fall on her faceโฆโ
Sheโs admitting that women/girls thrive on interpersonal friction: frenemies, intense judgment, backstabbing and exclusion.
Itโs not an โinnocent faultโ so much as a relatable trait defining an entire gender. Women have a tendency to hate other women.

This needs a multilayered ablative heat shield. A composite panel system combining ablation and insulation.
Outer Layer: SiC-coated PICA-X for ablation and char formation.
Middle Layer: Silica honeycomb for insulation and structural support.
Inner Layer: Cyanate ester resin as a secondary ablative barrier, bonded to the stainless steel skin.
