Of course he would be an ass, he grew up privileged. The whole point of this story is to unravel his privileged upbringing and watch him learn the truth of patriarchy, and see how it changes him. Theres a reason that the system here mirrors irl patriarchy so much. The author wanted to explore someone of privilege losing their privilege. Personally takatora is my favorite character in this story. Although not explicitly, this story also mirrors a lot of transgender experiences, both of trans women and trans men. Its a very interesting read, but you have to look at it with literacy.
