Is the Queen Bee Syndrome a myth?

I believe it is, but I think the situation is more involved than that:

So, the article is saying women do help other women to the top? In which case, does that suppose they are not helping qualified men, because they are not women? Or are they just protecting what they have acquired, and not helping anyone but themselves, as they say the 'clinging' men are? And, whichever way you think it is, does that mean all women are doing it?

My opinion? It's a mixed bag, and human behaviour in this area cannot be said to be universal.
