I wonder if it's so much a commentary on "here's a phenomenon and it's wrong" as it is a commentary on "here's the human condition -- how do we cope with it". The metaphor of the pack may be thin, but that of itself is interesting. We do have instincts for hierarchy (which involves putting down weaker members of the tribe) and sexual predatorship. It's part of the human condition. The question is how we domesticate it.
