Rachel, still barren while Leah is bearing children, gives her handmaid to Jacob. When the handmaid bears a son, Rachel says: 'With great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed.'
Rachel is competing with her sister through reproduction. It's not healthy - the text shows that. But it shows the intensity of the competition, the wrestling that happens between sisters in the same household, competing for the same man's attention and approval.
Female rivalry around male attention is ancient and destructive. This passage doesn't condemn it so much as describe it. The tragedy is that both women are caught in a system where their worth is tied to producing heirs for one man.
