I detest pride so much myself whenever seeing it in myself or others. It's what got us into this whole mess. The pride of pigheaded 19th century men in particular caused a lot of our ills today. Unfortunately, it has leaked into the attitudes of traditionalist men since, as Matthew pointed out, traditionalists are not immune to the wiles of the world.

I have come across men who have chips on their shoulders even so often in my life, and I find it more annoying than when women are unfriendly. At least with women, it is more of a matter of gauging and working with the emotions, while with men, it is more intellectual. I probably find it more annoying since the emotions take over the man who I would have expected to have been more reasonable and had a better intelligent grasp and awareness. 

Stubbornness can be a good thing in the proper context, but often we fail to apply that as such as men.

I agree. Especially the "mixture of pride with lust" which resulted in many of those same men traveling, marrying and interbreeding with different cultures and races which God deliberately separated. That was one of the biggest sins against God and we've been paying for it ever since.
