First of all, do they exist? If so, what do you think they are...? I think i've hurt somebody's "male pride" by saying no to him.
 
"Pride" is not a sex specific trait and can get to the point of unjustified arrogance in short order in either.

If you 'hurt his feelings', he probably had it coming as he more than likely hadn't been told 'no' very often as a child.

I take it nobody else has met any women who practice the female version of male egotism.

I believe a colloquial term for them was "queen bitch".
 
I've met women like that. Although some were reacting to the institution of male pride (male chauvinism, machismo).

Attaching gender to abstractions is dangerous in my opinion; such as how some people attach emotion to femininity. There is a difference between constructs of social interactions and inherent nature.
 
I think anything based around pride in something that isn't an accomplishment is idiotic.

But some think this is also based upon an accomplishment (the successfully asking somebody out business)?
 
That's an accomplishment, though.

Being proud of being male, or proud of being female, or being proud to be x nationality, etc. is retarded.

I highly agree with that.
