There is a specific segment of the enginerd crowd which, in reaction to the realization that they've been passive victims in their own lives, throw the lever all the way to the other side. They become wannabe "alpha males" who reactively criticize any sign of male weakness in others (but not in person, only online) That is, when they're not riding their racing motorcycles in their full body gear, or doing squats. Psych! I mean deadlifts!

What these tough guys don't realize is something which Margret Thatcher best put to words: being powerful is like being a lady; if you have to tell [or show] others you are, you aren't. (paraphrased, from memory)
