My father is a mid level manager. The dude had such a small ego that he needed to be propped up to feel good about himself. And he is not the only one.

Same thing with the HOD of a department i was working with. I told him how his idea would be hard to work with and the man acted like a child for the next month trying to humiliate me at every opportunity he got. The dude was in his 60s.

The same with a local governmental beurocrat. The dude needed a whole number or people to come tend to him when he was admitted in the hospital which was just pathetic.

I had two male teachers who used to used to use guys to humiliate them to get attention from the girls in the class.

With these men, it seemed to me that the only way the guys could stand or even talk to them was with their head bowed and asking for mercy. And taking everything they said as if it was gold.

I don't know if all the men in power are like this. But how the fuck does the world run if everyone is catering to the egos of these men?
