It really isn't all that complicated as most people make it out to be. I can really only speak for myself and why I did it though. I repressed my female side for so long and since my own life was not sufficient it created a bitterness towards women. I looked for every flaw I could find to validate my own masculinity. As far as a manipulation it isn't really a men thing. Women do it too ... they just do it differently. Men manipulate to get sex where as women manipulate to get love even if they are not aware of it. At the end of the day people are playing for their teams.
It's just too broad of a brush to use on either gender.
