They knew all adult man would have a little ego as art of their nature but why many Woman's Rights Groups always try avoid this topic?Why can't there be an association that would help to educate our society about the importance of understanding eachother between male and female without any bias since each gender has it's own hits and misses?Is there something sinister going on?Any ideas boys and gals??

I say scrap the whole so-called feminist movement. The idea that women want to become more like men is ludicrous in the extreme. Men have their particular ways, and we women have ours. When we acknowledge and praise these differences, then we can work together for our mutual advantage.
Of course, equality and fairness are two vastly different things. The idea that a woman can do what she decides to do, and be what she decides is important for her to be, is fine. But let us not pretend that it is the same for men and for women, or that it should be.
For one thing, a man has a particular sensitivity to being humiliated which goes way back to early primate ancestors: his sexual function is affected because Mother Nature does not want a humiliated man to breed. She wants a strong and capable man to breed, one who can effectively protect his mate and his offspring from harm. If a woman gets in the habit of competing with a man, she is destroying his sexual effectiveness. We know that: we refer to such women as "castrating" even though they rarely do it with a knife.
Of course, the fact that a woman does not lose the ability to become pregnant, or any noticeable sexual function, by being humiliated makes for a very different sort of vulnerability, and this is part of why women need men to be protectors.
So because our sexuality is so different, and related to our emotions by such different pathways, our brains and our thinking are very different. Therefore, even now when women mostly have to have jobs to survive in this world (a stay-at-home mom is mostly a luxury few families can afford these days), men and women are good at very different sorts of jobs. Yes, there are women who are good at traditionally male jobs; but they will always be a minority, and often be sacrificing the ability to be a good wife and mother to do those jobs.
We can make changes in the world that make these differences more effective and positive, of course. Making part-time jobs a common theme is one way, in that a woman can work short enough hours not to have to neglect her home and children.
And recognizing that people who do not fit the pattern, for whatever reason, become an additional resource to the community; those comparatively rare people who see the world through different eyes have always been the creative ones who helped the rest of us understand.

Ego is something that is learned. My ex used to stroke it once in a while when she wanted something, but I think that what you feel about yourself is ID not ego. So I'll pass. I prefer to get rid of Ego, and focus on making other people feel good.

I think men's egos are fascinating. In fact, I believe women should be more cognizant of their own egos, rather than trying to deny it and attempting to be so smarmy and ladylike. If they got in touch with this aspect there would be more team-players and fewer back-stabbers.

Women do try to learn about men's egos.
do we really understand? no.
it isn't an organization (as far as i know) but there is a really good book called "He Said, She Said" by Deborah Tannen that explains that we use language sort of differently, and misunderstand each other a lot.

sometimes, it's not about setting up an organization or an association. it's about loving the person's character and understanding him as a human. a man is a human, not a different species, so we have to treat them as a fellow human being with feelings. we're just different in views, but if we trample on them, it'll be the same as them trampling on our ego.

No, women just make snap judgements and don't care who gets hurt.
