Be aware that I'm not an expert is psychology or anything. These are my personal thoughts on ego, and how it can be used to manipulate men, namely by appealing to external validation, and presenting a gynocentric self-identity that is difficult to reject once accepted (i.e. the blue pill).

I'm sure someone else can do a more complete job of analyzing the ins and outs of ego, but this is meant only to be a spring-board for further discussion, not an all-inclusive guide to ego.
