However, the male gender has been programmed by the patriarchal system that men should be the dominant gender. So men are raised believing they are more intelligent, more athletic, and superior to women. Combine this with the competitive nature in males and you get a male ego that is inflated with a false sense of superiority.

From the time they are boys, males will compete for supremacy in sports, games and any type of competition where there are winners and losers. Men want to win because their ego feeds on it. It only gets worse when they become adults. They may no longer play board games but they are competitive in business and they take the same winners/losers approach, as they try to vanquish their rivals so they can inflate their ego. This male need for conquest has heaped pain and suffering on the world around them. Wars are fought and lives are destroyed all in the male quest to satisfy the male ego. The business world has become a war zone as companies eat up weaker companies all in the name of male conquest.
