The problem is that society doesn't work that way. If everybody behaves like a masculine man and ruthlessly takes what he or she wants, it only fosters conflict. The only thing that prevents it from being too obvious is that people are incredibly fake and hide their real intentions all too often.

    There's less voluntary cooperation and more rivalry and it's promoted by the few who profit from it and supported by those who believe they are masculine winners.
    You basically describe highschool girl rivalry and then call it masculine! lol
    Selfish behavior is unfortunately becoming more common, but it is neither masculine nor feminine. Currently it is worse amongst women (esp young ones) than men, but it has not always been that way and now men seem to be catching up. Selfishness has always existed in cultures most masculine and feminine. About your post early though about how men cause the violence in society and how there would be none if women ruled: here is a good example that humans are cruel and violent, regardless of sex.

    EDIT: In fact mate, selfish behavior is contrary to both traditional ideas of masculinity and femininity! Maybe not in our growing gang culture, but at least where I live ideas of masculinity are tied up in ideas of chivalry, and femininity in defined very much in terms of lady-like behavior. Both discourage the type of behavior you are talking about, which has always ran contrary to the ideals of gender expectations.

    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.
