There are so many ways that women also uphold the dominance hierarchy too - which is why it's still around. You are absolutely right that if we put in a more concerted effort to more cooperatively help each other, rather than buying into patriarchal competition modes, we could get a lot more done. I don't know if you read Lakitha's comment about white women complaining when Black women stick together and support each other. That kind of thing has got to stop if we ever hope to improve anything.
