I believe all people should be self-interested. That is the only solution as far as I can tell. The only way to reduce the gender gap peacefully without violence. Pursuing self-interest should be a right to all human beings.

Self-sacrificing people start wars, because they consider themselves disposable. Self-interested people on the other hand would not fight somebody else's fight. They wouldn't allow themselves to be toys for somebody else's benefit.

A self-interested person would not become a soldier so that he would march to his own death in the name of "God", government, or start wars that will put him or her in danger.

However, there is a difference between "small-minded" self-interest, and enlightened self-interest. This is the tricky part.
