But coudln't this be because these people are either concited and/or
in denial?  (especially due to the way they are socialized)  I personally
think that these people who don't acknowledge luck, male or female, could
use a little humility.  I think it's a short step from denying that luck
and chance play a role to victim-blaming and lack of compassion.

On the other hand, this is a good point, too.
