(as pessoas) sabem o que esperar (uma das outras).
I want to live in a world where women trust each other. Where people know where they stand with each other. Where women give each other the benefit of the doubt simply because they believe down deep that other people are doing the best they can.

know where you stand
Meaning: If you know where you stand, you know exactly where you fit in a social or work situation, or in someone's life.
For example:
Nobody bothered to ask Ken for his opinion, so he says he now knows where he stands in the company.
Shelley didn't even invite me to her party, so I know where I stand with her now.

Deixo como sugestão traduzir como
Cada um sabe seu lugar
e deixar o resto subentendido (em relação às outras pessoas), pois a expressão já dá conta disso, IMO.
Fica a sugestão ;)
