Adams writes _not_ about how women behave, but about how _men_ behave. He addresses those men who complain about their perceived lower social standing than women ("stop being pussies").
He is making three points:
1. society dictates that you help the weak (children, handicapped)
2. men perceive themselves superior to women (i.e. his reference to male teamwork, physical strength or determination)
3. hence, men must help women and not complain about them
One point I would have like him to make though is the essence of helping each other: only by doing that, we as a society can evolve and prosper past the outdated gender wars ;-)
