That's a good question. I think most of the traits described here also apply to women, but as always, we're talking about overlapping Bell curves here. I think men derive their sense of self worth from things like strength, leadership and independence more so than women do on average. There's also traditionally feminine traits men derive self worth from, like empathy, affection and devotion. The same is probably true for women; little of column A, little of column B.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that, this is just how genders shake out on average, so the implication that a man shouldn't like feeling like one kind of bothers me.
