The problem with your analogy is that medical residents are being taught best practices to become competent doctors. What they are practicing is in everyone's best interests. The pervasive culture of masculinity is not in women's best interests (or men's for that matter). When guys are surveyed about what it means to be a man, they say things that confirm this. For example, "A real man controls his woman."
