But most of the post gave off a very selfish and egocentric vibe, in my opinion. If you put yourself ahead of your spouse and (especially your) kids, doesn't that makes you a bad father / husband?

Steve spoke about putting his purpose (for him: raising consciousness of as many people as possible) and values like truth ahead of his spouse and his kids. He didn't spoke about putting himself ahead.

No I don't, I'm explaining why an assertion that men are 'confident' is wrong.

Then you miss the point of Steves post. He didn't analyse people out there but spoke about ideals.
Very few people today have value that they would die for.
Not everyone is confident.
Steves point is that those mans that lack in those aspects should work on them.

Anyway, I'm not sure men or anyone should be anything, that implies our existence has an inherent meaning, yet 'meaning' is just a human concept, 'existence precedes essence'.
|
You argue in a place where there are people who consider everything that exist human concepts.
Pointing out that it is something is untrue because it is a human concept just doesn't cut it when the people you are discussion with see the existence of every physical object out there as a projection in their subjective reality with is human made.
Living conscious is about living with meaning. A lot of Steves blog is about finding meaning in life.

Realize that stereotypes are based on weak inductive arguments; they don’t define you or anyone else. They only serve to limit our range of behaviour and reinforce socially conditioned prejudices.

Have you heard of the Paradox of Choice?
Without a mental map of the world around you, you are unable to make decisions and the range of behaviour is very small.
