[quote=Anonymous]I do not think hierarchies are necessary in social settings. I think they are necessary in organizations, but also that in a properly run organization, hierarchies will be kept in check by healthy mechanisms for keeping those at the top accountable. I don't think neighborhoods, friend groups, school communities, or even families need hierarchies, and I think they actually work best when there is simply mutual respect and appreciation but no real need to decide who (among this group of equally situated people) is "best" or most important. IME queen bees are women who want to impose hierarchies on situations where they aren't really needed. They see what they perceive as a power vacuum and try to fill it. A queen bee is, by definition, someone who is trying to control and manipulate others. A kind, helpful organizer isn't a "queen bee." That's just a good friend or community member.[/quote]
