unsisterly
Lacking sibling warmth
Unsisterly describes behavior or attitudes that fail to show the warmth, loyalty, or support expected between sisters.
The word implies a breach of the special bond siblings should share: It was unsisterly of her to reveal my secret.
It can also apply more broadly to women who betray solidarity with other women.
