I think you're onto something here.

No one can be objective and I think Grace, a woman, looks at women like Stevie and Christine and projects her own insecurities onto them. It's a form of internalized misogyny. There's also an unequivocal jealousy about how the Mac has managed to continue cashing in on its legacy whereas Jefferson Starship--once a staple of 70s FM radio--has not. She can be in awe of the Stones because she was never in their league. In her head, she sees the Mac, who once toured with and, in fact, supported, Jefferson Starship, as peers. It's more easy to criticize your brother than your father.
