I don't know if agree with your claim that "leveling the playing field is a zero-sum game" although to many men is might seem that this is the case. There's a reason for this though, check out this and this to read about it. Essentially, testosterone by nature increases the competitive nature and decreases cooperation. Thus the balancing of power between gender, which should bring about increased cooperation is viewed by those with higher testosterone levels as a threat to their power. I certainly don't want to excuse anyone's behavior though. Hopefully we've all evolved to the point where we can recognize this kind of biological tendency and think rationally about how to curb the behavior it might otherwise bring about.
