We were having the same thought, AzTheta! I suspect that many of these women have faced very few failures or rejections in life. They are smart, involved, interesting women who generally experience success when they work hard and put their mind to it. They have generally been able to pick and choose what they want, when they want. Dealing with being dropped for something this big is a new experience for many of them and it makes it that much harder if they haven't already learned how to process and grow from an experience like this.
