Haha obviously I'm only highlighting the negative traits; reading my post again I really painted an overly bleak picture of men.
But the essence of my point is still true: society still rewards testosterone-fueled ambition; the impulse to outdo others, to dominate social and commercial groups, to 'conquer,' in various forms is a prevalent value, in my society anyway.
I do not believe you've never witnessed this.
It can difficult to reconcile these particular social values with one's own individual values if they are in opposition to an old-fashioned status quo. Not everybody is free of the egoic need to fit in.
