Traditonally homemaking required a lot of hard work. As modern machinery replaced much of that drudgery women who do not work have had the opportunity to become increasingly idle and lazy. With increassingly idleness come decreasing goals and therefore I would posit less self satisfaction for a "job well done". And yes, I remember as a young boy helping my mother bring in the laundry off the clothes line that I helped her hang and we always felt like it was a job well done.

As women more generally lacked the sense of well being from a job well done, it seems they need to find approbation elsewhere.

To add fule to the fire, preach and emotionally live by the mantra of "I don't need no man" and therefore either don't have a man or are distainful of the one they do have.

I'm sure a small casting about would bring to mind other compounding issues.

This seems a rather powerful coctail for self pity and bandwagon blaming to enhance self worth. Therefore claiming to be horrifically damaged by a minor offense builds a woman's esteme among her collegues. She is now one of the in crowd. She too was molested.

An analogy might be how young teen gang members get thier "stripes" (like a army seargent's stripes) by doing a crime. The more henious the crime, the higher the esteme in the gang.
