Exactly. It's just a list of things that, for better and for worse, society takes to be the standard -functioning- model. We can all share horror stories about having grown up with bad examples...but even as we say that we acknowledge, either implicitly or explicitly, that they are bad examples.
I'd take any story about a society informing any one of us here to be raging assholes (of any kind) with a whole truckload of salt. That's social commentary, observational criticism, but not an accurate description of what their (or our) society insisted on.
