Interesting. I find that one harder to place on the scale since it doesn't resolve to an obvious unique social dynamic. It is certainly high but just how high would depend which rather artificial mechanism was used to enforce it. Female social politics are rather a lot different to males ones and that would be an extreme case. My impression is that the female in question would have a lower status differential to the other females and be more readily overthrown than the male would. (Even more) constant vigilance would be required to maintain dominance.
