Study Says Men Are More Narcissistic Than Women
The study confirms just about every gender stereotype about male entitlementMen on average are more self-absorbed than women are, according to a new study published in the March edition of Psychological Bulletin.
Researchers at the University at Buffalo School of Management analyzed data from more than 475,000 participants taken over the course of 31 years and found that men consistently scored higher in tests for narcissism, regardless of age.
The scientists studied gender differences in three features of narcissism: leadership and authority, exhibitionism and entitlement. They looked at how people responded to statements like, “If I ruled the world, it would be a much better place.” Researchers found a large gap between the genders in the categories of leadership and entitlement, suggesting that men are more likely than women to believe they deserve privileges and pursue opportunities. But men and women were equally as exhibitionist.

... isn't it though 
Explains something about structural inequality. Since men have traditionally been in power, maybe this has something to do with it.
Also, I forgot the link. There's only one more paragraph at the link, though:

"After this, therefore, because of this." Although, I do agree with your comment.
I think you're reacting to that and have a hard time wrapping your mind around this finding.
But it's OK--I've seen it before.
I am a college teacher and in one of my classes, we have a chapter which cites studies that show that men talk more than women. The students--even mere 19- and 20-year olds--are aghast.
Well, the men are. The women know better.
I actually have some men in the class who get upset and who are unable to let this go.

So many guys I've known think they're Adonis. 
These guys are 5s or 6s but consider themselves 10s, and they acted like it.
Women are just the opposite.
There are men who objectively could not be considered good looking thinking that they are. While I have seldom heard a woman, no matter how beautiful, consider themselves to be so.
For centuries women were taught that their looks are what mattered. How else would they get a husband? Even today, in this era of photoshopping, women feel that they are still lacking. It's amusing to hear men who are merely average looking at best, making derogatory comments about women who far surpass them in the looks department. That lack of self awareness is something that I find baffling. There's not a woman in public life that hasn't been judged by their "doability". Since when does a woman's capacity to do a job depend on whether guys consider her attractive enough to want to have sex with her? If that standard was applied to men, there are a slew of presidents, prime ministers and CEOs who would never have gotten the job.
