No, we're not inherently bad, but many of us (myself included) are encultured to preserve patriarchal dominance, which feels wrong to me, and I speak up about it. I don't hate myself for my upbringing, AND I'm working on being a better man by being more adult: knowing what I'm feeling and then deciding what to do next rather than be governed by my emotions, with a code of ethics / morality-with-less-hubris as a guide, pieced together from books and conversations within the same messy culture (USA) I continue to grow up in.
