Its actually quite a recognised phenomenon, its just not talked about very often. Not sure why.

Perhaps because men are generally in power and generally set the topic, and men don't experience being female and doing this.

Alternatively, maybe it's talked about every day but amongst women.

More likely, I think, is that it contradicts the feminist narrative that every gender disparity that disadvantages women is the fault of the patriarchy and every gender disparity that favors women is evidence of inherent female virtue.

That's part of your simplistic narrative, propping up your beliefs. It's not reality.
