it's mostly a consequence of arrogance and too much money. after all, this is the same geographic region where you have anarchocapitalists microchipping the homeless and less well-to-do under the guise of "we're perfect; everyone else is flawed."

in all fairness, these same alpha male-types do the same thing to men they perceive as non-threats. most of them have no problem pigeonholing men they deem weakly inferior into the same category as "useless slut." the best way to deal with them? emasculate them in every which way right from the beginning.
