I think assholes in a sense are the closest to manly men women could get for a time, when men en masses were told to get in touch with their feminine sides and to share the pants or let his girlfriend or wife wear them instead of what has worked naturally for most of human history.
I think you need the asshole game start to develop a backbone and not be apologetic about it. The ultimate goal is not to become a good asshole, but to be your own man, beholden to no one but yourself, with standards that you hold yourself and others to. People's feelings are so fragile these days that they'll label you an asshole even if you don't agree with them on topic they thing highly of!
