That this point has been made with a bit of snark at times is only to be expected given the tone of your original post; it has absolutely nothing to do with some supposed male reluctance to "ask for help".
Yup, and as I generally have to point out to some of the engineers I work with, "If you're complaining that nobody understands what you're really trying to say, then the problem isn't them--it's that YOU failed to explain things well."
