As amusing as the quoted post is, I think we need to be careful about maintaining real values as opposed to the "near enemies" of these virtues, which are frequently adopted by women.

The value in question here could be loosely describe as "empowerment". Actual "empowerment" involves not giving up in the face of adversity, improving oneself to become better, and ultimately succeeding. Women's idea of "empowerment" is basically talking about how they are more moral, more intelligent etc. than men without actually being any of these things. It's all talk, no action. That could be considered a near enemy of empowerment - in that no one is actually empowered, instead, the perception of being empowered has been adopted as a substitute.

In the same way, mocking the woman here is fun as a quick laugh, but actually doing the same thing by only talking about how men are generally so much better than women is no better. You aren't becoming more successful than women by telling yourselves that. The only way of becoming more successful is actually doing it, like a real man, and adopting the real value of empowerment, not stupid near enemy of empowerment loved by women. (Interestingly, traditional male culture has a built-in protection against this kind of fake "empowerment" - being an arrogant prick works if you can back it up, but if you can't back it up then you'd better watch out since it's an open invite for other men to take you down - but that protection is becoming less solid as society becomes more feminised).
