i can definitely relate on maybe a different level, like in the past few years i find myself thinking more about whether it's worth spending the time to do certain things
as a female I too have no sense of testosterone competition.
But for real yeah it was never a big deal, it is kinda funny though that even in places like an anime convention the tough guys definitely feel like they have to try hard to be the top-dog. It's like, bro it isn't hard here.
yeah it's just the majority mentality of our time. I think that was one cool thing I learned in history that really stuck with me, is how different other times were in life. The Egyptians for example had very different social norms than the Romans, and so on
