Chris' Actions: Male vs Female Perception

As I said in my latest post, those who went through similar experiences to Chris, such as Ruess, Treadwell, or Krakauer, are all men.  Is gender a key role in understanding, or condoning, Chris' actions?  Do men have a natural empathy for Chris, or are women just more reasonable. 
I believe that one of the most driving factors in a man's life is the desire to stand, and thrive, as an individual.  You can see all the time how men want to seperate from the pack and be successful, independent, and love every minute of it.  Being able to be mysterious and misunderstood is just another drive for men.  the romantic (if that is even the right word. I feel uncomfortable using it) idea of jetting off and living by oneself in the wilderness is something that appeals to most men.  Is the desire to seperate oneself from the rest of humanity a natural thing?  You never see a woman with plans of world domination or the need to be remembered.  I think that Chris has such a definitive role in the world that guys can't help but envy, and possibly hate, him for it.  As long as you are remembered and played by your own rules, you are a successful man.   This is why you see many guys admire Chris.
Women are more difficult to interpret.  Not because they are women, but because I am utterly inept and have no experience in thinking as a woman.  But it is noteworthy to understand that women are far more social that men are.  Guys don't go to the bathroom together, or send their friends of to ask the girl they like out.  Women tend to trust others more that men trust others, which is why you see many girls heartbroken over a one week relationship.   To naturally trust and rely on others is a beautiful thing, something that guys often struggle with, but this trust means individualism and independence can be an immovable object looming over a woman's life.   If you asked a guy how long he would last in the woods alone and then as a girl how long she would survive, I bet you ten bucks that on average, the guy would think he would survive longer.  Not to say that women are incapable, but guys naturally see themselves as self-reliant.  I don't mean to offend anyone, and I am making some huge generalizations, but women see others as more vital to survival than men.   this is why Chris McCandless could be received by women as a reckless kind of guy.  You may hear, "why would he leave his family?" or, "How could he do that to his friends?" from girls more than guys.  Then again, Im just a teenage guy, what do I know about girls?  These are just my thoughts on the matter.
