This is a worldbuilding nitpick but, if Victor is the product of a matriarchal society and the prince of such a group of people, he wouldn't have thought about or phrased the JC/Anita relationship this way.
ooooh, excellent point! And I do not consider it a nitpick at all, because it's little details (in my opinion) like that that really do the work of making a different world or culture seem real.

Also oooh, I like you After-MOAD theory.

But the part where her group stands around and lets her be bullied and assaulted is chilling and awful and screwed up.
Wasn't there an IRL case not so long ago where a girl was raped at a party or prom and people likewise just stood there and didn't do shit?

I think that Anita is using her 'panwere' status to feed on the other white tigers to make herself physically and magically stronger. She isn't better, stronger, or "more tiger" than Julia. Anita is literally using Julia's kinsmen as batteries in her assault on Julia.
Ah, that makes sense then. And I also like that it doesn't make her better in any way that Julia.
