Re: Myth of Male Power
We are exceptional in more ways than that.
For example, we are exceptional in our ability to act in ways other than our natural instincts guide us to act
Speak for yourself. You may conform, but plenty of males are capable of thinking for themselves instead of just submissively being guided by "the pack"
We are exceptional in our ability to bend nature to our will, exterminate competing species, and massacre one another in the most time, resource, and labor efficient manner possible.

If anything, our approach to gender relations and social issues is bog standard for what might be expected from any reasonably social higher mammal. The simple fact of the matter is that males, unless they simply happen to not be around, are usually the dominant gender in nature, and generally conform to some sort of loosely defined social hierarchy (alpha, beta, omega, etca).
