I'm not quite sure of what your asking Tom.....you seem to pose many questions in this post..
Fear is certainly not gender specific nor is the ego that supports it. Humanity is aware of mortality and that is the seed of fear.
Also,,as purely a comment,,it is unfair to the vast majority of young men and women to include their sense of moral and ethical behavior within the silly stereotypes marketed to sell drama.
Most people have set their eyes to the top of the hill and though we can slip and slide from time to time,,lose our balance and sometimes our way,,our hearts are generally focused on a better place.
The media portrays the exceptions.
IMHO.

Apologies, I used "fear is the mindkiller", because I'm writing something relevant to that. I guess I'm saying in a sense that as I perceive it, society is getting more and more violent as the years progress, and while this trend isn't restricted to any specific race or gender, a good portion of it tends to be a result of lack of leadership and the teaching of a proper direction for us as men to behave. I'm not saying that the past is perfect at all, but in a sense you're right; the media is responsible.
I guess fundamentally though, what I'm asking is what drives you as a mane these days? is it a sense of honour, for example or something else?
